Some of my Dad's fondest memories from his time as a young man was when he was threshing corn around the Carnew and Gorey areas. It was a big piece of team work to thresh, Dad's main role was as the tractor driver, but he mucked in with all the tasks of the day. He usually started in August and almost always it was Doyle's in Ballingarry (near Gorey) that the first threshing of the season took place. He loved this work and you can hear it in his voice on today's recording.
