  Description

  Living in an idyllic part of Cork overlooking the Dripsey river with a large garden and a dog. We have traveled extensively over the years and love to hear from others about their experience's and where they have been.
  
  Shareing experiences and travels to inspire each other. You will learn about the history and culture of Ireland and how it has become an independent country with a place in Europe and on the world stage.
  
  Our hope is that we can learn from each other. I will be able to teach you about painting, house maintenance, gardening and some projects around the house, & dog minding and grooming. Most recently we built our own sauna and wood store and our 15yr old Corgi always loves to be rubbed.
