About this Product
From the author of internationally renowned author of Sive.
The Buds come to Ballybunion for their yearly break before the snows of winter whiten the hills. (Bud is an abbreviation of the Gaelic word, Bodaire, meaning a sort of rough, country person).
They bring with them their own eggs, bacon, bread, butter, jam, cabbage, spuds, etcetera. They pay for their lodgings and the landlady, Mary ODea, does the cooking. They are, alas, the last of their kind.
"In came the Ballybunion Buds their vittles for to ate, Twas hard-boiled eggs and griddle bread and lumps of hairy mate. Twas hard-boiled eggs for breakfast and twas softboiled eggs for tay, You could hear the craturs clocking and they facing for the say."
