A Life in Postcards

By Melosina Lenox-Conyngham

Born a Teaplanter's daughter in Sri Lanka (then Ceylon) in 1941, and evacuated with her mother to southern Africa during the war, Melosina Lenox-Conyngham acquired early on a taste for travel and an interest in life's curiosities, qualities well illustrated in this gathering of her writings. Here be memories of school holidays spent with an aunt in Cork, the dubious pleasures of church in Carrigadrohid, the eventful history of the Cork and County Club, sketches of life in the family home in Ravensdale, County Louth, where generations of the Lenox-Conynghams have lived, in which we learn of the mystery of the magic tap and an unusual form of family funerals. Her years of service as Secretary to the Butler Society lent her expertise at rallying the clan as well as a special interest in key figures from Kilkenny local history:
