Patrick's house is wonderfully remote, in the woods and cow fields by the edge of the lough. He is very welcoming and an excellent host. We had long conversations in his big old fashioned and elegant living room. The entire house has a kind of faded grandeur, it reminded me of big old country houses that I have stayed in. The cows escaping from the field overnight, and blocking the rough trackway out through the woods when I was leaving in the morning just added to the experience.
