91/365 - George Fitzgerald, Finglas, Dublin.

Dublin

1 Apr

George is my nextdoor neighbour. We live in a little estate in the middle of Finglas and it’s the kind of place where everyone knows each other and you’ll also keep an eye out for each other.

Shamefully I knew little of George’s life before this conversation so it was a total treat to be invited into his home and hear all his stories. He spent 30 odd years working for An Post, had 4 sons and married his late wife Marie back when he was 19 (they met when he was 15). He’s hilarious and kind. Born in the tenements in Ballyfermot and has lived a full life ever since. I could probably talk to George every day for the rest of the year and still not run out of stories.
