Description
May & June:
I live in the country and have grown up children living locally. My home is situated one hour South of Dublin and half an hour from Kilkenny. The closest towns are Athy and Carlow. I enjoy conversation, meeting new people and travel. I can leave you to a bus for Dublin or Kilkenny or wherever you want to visit. Alternatively you can take a bicycle and cycle on country roads, go fishing in the river, and explore the local area. There's a beautiful high Cross locally, Kilkea Castle or visit the heritage town of Athy. I look forward to meeting you and helping you plan excursions.
