Kerry Fitzgerald

One of the first stories I ever wrote! Think I was probably four?? You can see my mum started to correct my spellings and just gave up 🤣 what I love about it, aside from the surrealism and old school folk feel, is that I was writing in my mum’s strong west Kerry accent, which I had too before I went to school. So girl, was golle (it comes from the throat!), railings were ralens, but was bot, get was gat. No excuse for aplsa though. Transcription with boring standardised spelling ‘Once upon a time a girl named Kerry was going to the shop with her mum, and they got a basket and got; 5 oranges, 6 apples, 4 bananas, 2 packs of biscuits and a pack of crisps for Kerry. So they went home, but when they got to the gap in the railings they saw a pig ‘give me these bananas or I’ll roll your hair’ said the pig! I bet you could get these if I threw one of them. 🐷🐷🐷
