i am 48 in april and spent probably all my summers/short breaks etc between Campbeltown and Southend for the first 16yrs of my life, then of course i did my own thing. As i look back now they were the most wonderful times of my life. I will never ever experience that kind of family unity, happiness and undemanded love ever again. I am a father but those days (i'm sure many
will agree are long gone). Sad that my own will never taste it. Sorry went down memory lane there.........pity.
my dad is donald mcshannon from Southend, big family (10 siblings) to john mcshannon and mary (mcsporran)mcshannon.
macharioch cottage/s then to
millpark (@1/2 mile from Southend Parish Church)
my mother is valerie (hume) mcshannon,Campbeltown (1 brother) to johnny hume and rozena (hastie) hume.
glebe st (telephone ex) from when i was a baby.
i have a sister kim and a brother scott, both younger.
any way folks just a brief intro about myself and will endeavour to recant my family stories and any history in further blogs.
