No story is too small. 🥚 The egg man calling. The basket to the egg station. The egg money counted out on the kitchen table, and everyone knew it was hers. Did your mother or granny keep hens in Co. Monaghan, 1910–1950? Tell us: eggmoneyinmonaghan@gmail.com #WomensHistory #OralHistory

Did your grandmother have egg money? For most Monaghan farm women, 1910-1950, egg money was often the only money they controlled. It paid for the boots, the schoolbooks and the shop. Get in touch: Eggmoneyinmonaghan@gmail.com A Monaghan County Council Commemorations History Bursary project

Oooh. Super interesting. I will have a look to see if I come across McMahon evictions. What makes you say “mass” evictions?

My annual research trip to @longleatofficial.bsky.social private archives to work on my ‘Irish’ Bath Estate book (Co. Monaghan) is now 10 years in the making - and nearing completion. This walk in the morning helps with inspiration ❤️

Thanks for getting in touch! I’m doing the family tree to better understand the influences on JBS so would love to hear more about your connection. Not my family relations but fascinated all the same :)

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.
