Roadtrip

Jim is good craic. Definitely. Good company, good music and good food.

As I realised I was running out of days in Ireland, I had a plan to head straight to Dingle for two nights and then up to Gort for another two. But Jim, spontaneously deciding to skip work, convinced me to join him to Skibbereen for a night at the House he was planning to buy and then we'd go on to Dingle from there.

So we set off, me, Jim and Leo (a permaculturist who was joining to take a look at the plot of land Jim was planning to buy). And the cottage is absolutely adorable. Only one neighbour for Miles around, surrounded by fields and foresty land, and with a size-able area ready to be cultivated. It still needs a lot of work, having no running water or electricity, but sitting around the wood stove sipping tea made up for that.
