Description
We are based on the outskirts of Letterkenny, Co. Donegal. We are a mum and two children (both primary school age). If you like working outside in the garden and (mostly) vegetarian cooking you should enjoy spending some time at our home. We are currently playing a lot of instruments and have a room for music that has 2 x guitars, 2 x keyboards, a clarinet, a saxophone, a fiddle and a drum kit.
