As written in the third to last blog post “Let’s get started”, we viewed new houses and flats a week after we moved into the holiday apartment in Ireland. With lots of luck and by not letting go, we were also able to view a cottage that was nowhere to be found online and was […]
Lá Fhéile Pádraig
On this day Ireland, but also the entire Irish or non-Irish world community sees green!
