I had the pleasure of staying with John and Marian for two weeks. In the US we would call them "Country" which translates to "Good People". They try to be self sufficient on their farm, located in a beautiful part of Ireland, close to many of the wonders of Ireland. They are kind, generous, thoughtful and intelligent yet humble.
John took me to one of the local Pubs for a pint, well a few pints, and the next morning they checked to see how I was John said, " you did pretty good last night", which I sincerely took as a complement!
If you are willing to try country living you can't go wrong, I know I didn't!
