Yesterday Ma said to me “you must forgive me if I’ve told you this before Scoob but I remember exactly what I did 46 years ago!
I got on a motorbike a blue Honda 400-4 at seven in the morning and my boyfriend took us to Sligo.
We went clean across country. From the Irish Sea to the Atlantic Ocean. Ireland is small.
We enjoyed the little roads and had a good dinner and then came home. Our leather jackets were covered in dead flies!!!
We got into my house around 10:30 and made some coffee and turned on the TV.
About ten minutes later programs were interrupted to tell us that Elvis had died.
We woke up your Grandpa and Granny and we all sat and watched the news. Granny cried.
It’s funny you can remember every detail of those days when things like that happen.
That you’d had liver and bacon for dinner and that you all had tea after the news with custard creams because everyone was in need of a little comfort that the King was gone.
