I love it there. The old family home is now a stone outbuilding but right in the coast. I have fantasies of buying and restoring it. Then I remember that I am neither rich nor handy. Reality sucks, right.
It looks lovely! I always wanted to go to Ireland – it must be such a marvellous place! And I already like irish whisky – so that makes me half-irish, doesn´t it?;)
Wow! 3/4 Irish! That´s wonderful! Did I ever mention that I adore the works of W.B. Yeats? I guess that would add the remaining 1/4 and make me 100% Irish?! 😉 Cheers!
I have to agree, this is really beautiful! How long did you live there? I hope you’ll be able to fulfill your dream of restoring your hold family home one day 🙂
Thank you, Monika. This was only a visit for a couple of weeks. My family lived just outside town but that was in the 19th century. I’d love to return and spend more time. One day, I’m sure. Cheers!
sorry for my super late reply – wow, that’s a long time ago! It would be amazing if you could get the house back 🙂 I really hope you’ll be able to return soon! 🙂
Ireland and family’s stone cottage in an enchanted little town… and you are just now on the opposite side of the ocean… must say: come back home!
Ciao

Looks quaint and peaceful.
It is and especially that morning. Cheers!
Very nice.

But you can still dream and sometimes dreams come true
you are Irish? gosh, I’m told the Irish are always rich, may not be in coin, but… being Irish is being a “treasure”
I am of Irish decent and it is a treasure at that. Thank you
Such a peaceful and homely place!
Thank you, Syeda. It is a lovely town. We spent a few days there and really enjoyed it. Cheers!

I’d say 3/4 Irish. 😃
Thanks so much. I really want to go back for a visit. Cheers!

Exactly!
Yippiehh! 😀 Next St Patrick´s Day I´m going to wear only green clothes;)
You’ll be all camouflaged. Or look like a leprechaun. ☘
Oh yes! I´d love to look like a leprechaun! And I´ve got nearly a whole year to prepare myself for this challenge now;)
lovely warm colors and light 🙂
The light was lovely this morning. The prize for getting up while the others were asleep. 😴

Perfectly fine. I want to go back but already have some other travel planned. I’ll get there eventually. Thanks!
oh, where are you heading next? 🙂
El Salvador – I am going to be a volunteer teacher down there for 8 weeks beginning in mid-May.
wow, that sounds amazing! I hope you’ll document your time there and share it with us 🙂
Thank you. Yes, I plan to share it here as well as on a separate blog and Facebook. Cheers 😊

I do have a kayak. Let me grab a couple of protein bars and I can paddle over, Sid. Cheers!

It is a nice place and I have nice memories to go with it. My wife and I went there with my parents and met our Irish relatives who live nearby. 😊
So, it was an Irish party 🙂
