Nancy returns to the homeland, the village of Costelloe, Galway County.

Twenty years ago Taisy and I went to visit the ancestral village: Costelloe, just west of Galway City where the ferry leaves for the Aran Islands.  My great grandfather Thomas Costello - after whose daughter Teresa Costello my daughter Taisy is named.  As is our grandson Cassius Costello. 
We lost the film but my Irish twin sister Nancy has returned. Travelling with her friend Grace she spent an afternoon with proprietor Muireann Walsh at Tigh Kitt, the local pub (once named Costelloe's).
Of course she got on the water to see the Cliffs of Moher and to visit the Aran Islands where too there are stone walls and the grass is green - as in Costelloe. - George
