AUSTRALIAN JUNK DEALER IN IRISH UPRISINGS

Former Melbourne and  Adelaide  antique dealer , Alan Jones , second from left in  back row , with hand  on  Irish wife  Pat, both armed with  a deadly weapon  , regularly takes  part  in  battles  reliving the   upheavals  of 1798 and  1916, which requires a   change in  dress  and weaponry  .  In  an  email to  this blog , Alan , who ran  the high class shop, The  Junkery ,  in  the  Golden  Mile  at seaside Largs , Adelaide , said the  day before this  photo was taken  they  had a battle with  the  Redcoats  at  Bunratty Castle  (" we  won "). Alan and  Pat  bought and restored  a   former  nunnery  at  Enniscorthy .
