Description
Hello Workaways!, we are a young family of 6- myself, dad, our two daughters and two rescue kittens who are the newest members of our family. I am English and Conor is Irish. We are a super laid back family, always joking around and never take anything too serious. Our eldest daughter Alba is 5 and shouts instead of talking( mind your ears)🫨She loves to be outside rain or shine and adores all our friendly furry neighbours. Our second child Navy has just turned 4, she’s a wild one- full of energy and loves anything active. Shes also the boss!
We live on the Lough Corrib which is a stunning lake that flows right through Galway. The views are stunning, especially at night when the sun sets. If you like peace and quiet then you will love it here!! Every morning we wake up to the birds singing and the sound of the rain ( it always rains in Ireland haha).
