In this episode John Colin talks about growing up in Irishtown during the war (when his father was away on active service as a Chaplain in the RAF). He also tells about his trips to Cork (to Ballydulea and Ballybricken) to spend holidays with his Bird cousins and aunts and uncles.

We also have an introduction to the Weir family; the children of Robert William Weir and Elizabeth Ann Fisher Ambrose, including our grandfather, Robert Edward Weir.
