Our little farm sits on the edge of the Cork and Kerry Border Mountains, Cork side, but not too far from the Kerry border which runs along the mountain ridge.
Your farm is something I used to dream about in my younger days but I don’t think I would have had the stamina for it. I love reading your posts though and living vicariously through your trials and your pleasures 💖 sending love and good wishes for another year. I do hope you can get your house more habitable this year. I did live in a house that was being worked on for most of my married life so I do know what that is like 🤣🥰
Wonderful post! I was born on a farm in Hungary (called a tanya in Hungarian) in 2010, and we moved away from there when I was 4 years old. Then we lived in Scotland and in England for awhile, finally ending up in Romania, where we've been living for the past 9 years. It is a fantastic place to live!!! 💖 I feel that all the places I have lived in have shaped me in some way... And I am eternally thankful for all the memories I made in each place I have lived, but especially I am thankful for my current home, nestled in the mountains of Romania, close to the Ukrainian border.
Carly, I love your writing, it captures place and Ireland is like a headlands set into a very big ocean. It comes through in your pictures and in your words , although not specifically stated, that the ocean is very close.
I appreciate that, Bruce, thank you. We are 15 miles from the ocean. Too far away to see it, but close enough to feel in the winds and rain that come in off the Atlantic. These hills are shaped by it. I’m glad that comes through.

Thank you, Geni. It will be a very long term project but we’ll get there slowly! ❤️

Thank you! Yes, how every place shapes us, thank you so much for sharing this. :)
Lovely, Thank you, from an easier farm in Puget sound, Northwest usa
That is a part of the US I would love to visit, it looks absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Marsha.
It is lifting , facing a double gale
Leaning into it, the roar
Not something from nothing
but the spin off the planet coming down
The wind takes the ocean, spits it
peaks it up
But unbuised she settles in again
and you’d never know tomorrow
the heavens ever had a place here
Beautiful

Well described small farm life.
Thank you, Nick
