During Covid Sam & I decided there must be more to life. Suddenly we were home with the kids every day and we loved it.

After years of breakfast & after school clubs, always chasing our tails financially, we were exhausted at missing out on our children & each other.

Sam has been in Alcoholics Anonymous now for nearly 10 years and the stress of running his own joinery business and the hectic way of living in the UK was threatening to end the sobriety he had worked so hard for.

All we knew was a change had to happen. After many nights of discussion we decided to sell everything we had, move into a motorhome & just travel. This gave us the breathing space we needed to decide our next move.

That move was a family decision to buy a cheap property in Ireland and do it up. We fell in love with Ireland when we came here during our travels. The pace of life suited us and we had faith that we would find our way in this amazing & hospitable country.
