So here's how I got on with Judy.
12:38
Say when I go on holidays or like I'm down the country and they're like, oh, where are you from? I say Kilmecanic.
12:45
They're like, oh, sorry, where? I'm like, near Bray.
12:48
And that's how I would explain where I live because a lot of people, you know, when you go away wouldn't know Kilmecanic.
12:56
Yeah, like if I think back of Bray over the years, like there used to be Eddie Rockets so we'd go down you know birthday parties and things like that of course we had the cinema in Bray and Greystones which we both are gone now unfortunately and but we'd go to you know Bray Bowl we'd go to the cinema and then we'd go to Eddie Rockets and that would be our birthday parties for about 10 years in a row Shopping, I remember City 2, where I think Tiger is now, and that used to have all the latest fashion.
13:31
So everyone used to go around in the same clothes because everyone got their clothes in City 2.
13:36
And when I was younger, I was very much into baking and cooking and anvil was brilliant.

And she's talking about the cliff walk and the Victorian shelters on the seafront.
