CHAPTER 3 -THE HOME
My mother would go into town on the train from Belcoo - the Sligo-Leitrim which went to Enniskillen. I used to hear my father say that men used to go in long ago to the Buttermarket. The Great Northern Railway had come into Enniskillen from Omagh. It was some years until the Sligo-Leitrim line came so men from Blacklion and around Marlbank might walk out from the Buttermarket to Enniskillen Station and come home and say they had seen a train. Well, the ones at home thought they were really travelled people.
Money was scarce. You had everything except money when you lived on the land. Plenty to eat and drink. I suppose enough to wear in a plain sort of way.
