It was a once-in-a-lifetime treat to experience staying with Eleanor at her home. We are a family of 4 (13yo daughter, 11yo son). She was charismatic, generous, and beyond sweet and welcoming. As I told her, it made Ireland feel less like a postcard and more like seeing family or friends. She trusted us with her home and her animals and her land. She included us in dialogue with any friends that would arrive. She allowed us to partake in any of the farm work or farm fun. She had amazing breakfasts and specialized day trips for us. We were spoiled. We all will miss her and all the fascinating conversations. My son especially will miss her as he became a little helper and loved all of her dogs and cats. Maybe he will go to college in Limerick one day…
