GRMA as always Siobhán 🙏 Is áit dhraíochtúil é, cósta thuaidh an oileáin. Bain sult as é sna séasúir is tanaí seo.

Between your scéalta, and the current program of Scoil Scairte, I feel the land calling me home…albeit further northwest, where countless school holidays were spent at my cousins cottage on Fanad. The summers are but a fleeting memory, but Easter and autumn mid-term breaks are impressed into my body. Living there is a somatic experience first and foremost, so it’s no wonder your recognized that the old house with good bones was choosing you to make it a home again.

Beautiful and so resonate with finding home in places that don't always seem 'the one' on the surface, but really are -- 'good bones' and atmosphere go a long way. Hope the home making there is a wonderful adventure.

Really enjoyed reading this Siobhan and I hope that your new home is everything you need it to be. I will actually be in Ballycastle this weekend and I will be carrying these stories with me.

It is a pleasant and fragrant thing to walk with you through these lands of ancient magic, mystery, and lore. Thank you.
