Barbara Bel Geddes always had a soft sppot for Ireland (@Sarah ) and for a while owned a holiday cottage / small farm with thatched roof in Country Galway where she used to go to relax with her family in the late 50s and 60s. In a few interviews back then she said the only sounds were the boats on the loch or is it lough and the sound of frogs.
She looks relaxed and care free, in a rowing boat, not sure the party looks a whole lot of fun tho, and think little daughter Betsy must have a balloon stuffed up her jumper and I hope that Barbara's cigarette from her mouth ash didnt burst it and give her a fright!!!
Ive never been able to find any pics of this until this week when some kind person has uploaded his kodak slides taken from that time. (Thank you so much Sir!!)

In the summer of 1958 my family from the United States (my mother Gee Marvel, my brother Si, my cousin Gigi Hopkins, and a family friend Didi Smallwood) along with our old friends the Lewis family (Windsor Lewis and his wife, Barbara Bel Geddes, the film, TV and stage actress, and their two daughters Susan and Betsy) rented the house at Cappagariff overlooking Loch Corrib a few miles north of Oughterard. I thought viewers of the Oughterard Heritage web site might enjoy seeing a few photos I recently digitized from Kodak duplex slides taken by my mother that summer. They include images of a kitchen party at the Kelly House nearby.
