An Irish teacher who is currently living and working in Spain shared a touching gift one of her students gave her on X (formerly Twitter).
Evelyn Manley, who is living in San Sebastián was gifted a unique hurley from one of her students who took a trip to Ireland.
Sharing an image of the hurley, Evelyn said: "Today a pupil who went to Ireland on her holidays gave me a present of a mini Hurley with the word Cork written on it.
"I was delighted! There isn’t a culture of giving teachers presents in Spain, in fact we actively discourage for many reasons.
"I didn’t expect this!"
Many people have commented under the post at the sweet sentiment, one user said: "Ah it’s lovely."
Another user said: "Lovely gift and thought of appreciation."
