This was our home away from home in Ireland. It is a separate living space, and Patrick lives just next door. It is a perfect writers' retreat, a wonderful place to get away from it all with spectacular views. Patrick is well known in the surrounding area, so it was easy to get rides to his place, even though it is about 3 miles from town. We really enjoyed getting to know Patrick, who was both very friendly and respectful of our privacy. It is wonderful when you make a friend and that is what happened on our thee-week stay. As a host, he went above and beyond, even hanging our laundry to dry at one point, and teaching me how to play backgammon. Also, the view we woke up to each morning was quite spectacular. I miss Ireland already.
