We'd all pitch up, eat her out of house and home, the dads would go to the pub and the mums and kids would dance away! Lovely memories.

My toddler boy dances round and round in circles till he falls. My daughter is four and has a growing repertoire of Irish songs. Favourites are Molly Malone and I'll tell me Ma.
