Marygray and Me - And The Challenges We Faced In Ireland The Summer of 1972

A few of you have been curious about what it was really like when Marygray Proffitt and I were in Ireland back in 1972. These photos give you a glimpse of what we were dealing with during our time there - this was just 5 months after Bloody Sunday happened.

Let me tell you, being in Northern Ireland during that period was genuinely scary.

Ireland is absolutely beautiful, but the situation up North was anything but peaceful. It was dangerous most of the time, and we had to be really careful about where we went and what we did.

We were so grateful that we’d started our work down in The Republic of Ireland first - it gave us a chance to get our bearings before facing the more intense situation in the North.

I’ve got more stories and photos to share, so keep an eye out for my next post!
