Nuala's cottage is picture perfect.
A delightful hideaway surrounded by what looks like an all encompassing forrest
It was nearly ten o clock when I took this photo and the light in this part of Ireland seemed not quite of this world.
We talked, ate sea bass and sipped wine and I slept nine hours solid without having a wee.
That does look like something out of a fairy story. One with a happy ending, I hope.
ReplyDeleteGoodness that is perfect! Hope your batteries are being recharged x
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful little house. Perfect.
ReplyDelete9 hours without a wee is amazing. I can't seem to manage 2....
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a wonderfully restorative and fun time with Nuala. Sending hugs xx
The cottage looks perfect .... a wonderful retreat with your best buddy. You are obviously very relaxed ( that and the wine !! ) It will do you the power of good. XXXX
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely perfect cottage and location. Thank you for showing us. Nice to imagine where you are. xx
ReplyDeleteThat looks absolutely idyllic. And sleeping for 9 hours without having a wee. THAT is bliss!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful house in a charming setting. You're visiting the Enchanted Forest! I'm assuming your friend is a good witch...I know you're other friends are fantastic fairies!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your adventure!
It seems the visit is doing you the world of good. x
ReplyDeleteBrilliant John - just what was needed. Enjoy the company, the chat and that beautiful light. Friends are so important.
ReplyDeleteThe cottage looks old, but renewed. I really like it. Sounds like a good time was had by yourself, but without the party atmosphere. Nice.
ReplyDeleteDid the cottage used to be a schoolhouse?
ReplyDeleteIt was built as the school master's cottage
DeleteAll good therapy. Gorgeous house
ReplyDeleteSo happy for this peaceful break you had
ReplyDeleteCharming . . .
ReplyDeleteLooks like the home of our friends . . .
where we stay . . . near Bantry, Duras, Sheepshead.
And a nine hour solid sleep sounds wonderful!
The setting, wine, air, friendship . . . the “best!”
I live in the North but would love a little house like that to escape to. Iv never been to Kerry.
ReplyDeletenope, I need a wee every 3-4 hours at night. lucky you to be able to do that in the magic cottage!
ReplyDeleteSome times I wish to be catheterised just for a night or two.
ReplyDeleteLovely photo.
A nine hour sleep seems an impossibility anymore. Glad you are having a wonderful catch-up with an old friend in a beautiful setting. You've been rightfully "out of sorts" lately, or so it has seemed, so hopefully this will be restorative. -Jenn
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to visit Kerry as that is where my family originated from. What a lovely home and place to spend some time with a dear friend.
ReplyDeleteThe perfect hideaway! Recharge, renew and restore.
ReplyDeleteRelax, and enjoy. Looks like a pretty place.
ReplyDeleteJust what the doctor ordered.
ReplyDeleteSleeping for nine hours even WITH a wee (or two.....or more) would be quite some welcome going for me. Maybe the solution is - to move to Ireland!
ReplyDeleteMagical, is it made from gingerbread?
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous cottage, I would sell up and move into that in a heartbeat :-)
ReplyDeleteNine hours without a wee .... well THAT much wine would have dehydrated you somewhat!!
Enjoy, oh and could we have an interior shot ... just one ... pretty please :-)
Oh and it's a very appropriate looking cottage for someone called Nuala, who Wikipedia says is the wife of the King of the Fairies :-)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that cottage! Looks like one of Harry Potter's friends secretly lives there!
ReplyDeleteWhat a charming cottage! You are in an enchanted place!
ReplyDeleteNow that's exactly the sort of place I'd be looking for if I moved from here - it's absolutely prefect. I wonder if there are any more nearby?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cottage - I'd love to explore the inside as well.
ReplyDeleteI shall think of you relaxing there while I live in my tent (with small dog) for the next few days on the North coast of Cornwall, cliff top site.
You could move to the area to live perhaps John-it looks wonderful x
ReplyDeleteSuch a charming place - and one wonders what one's sleep pattern would be, without furry masters to wake us frequently, doesn't one?? I know this "one" wonders, anyhow . . . I never seem to get rested . . .
ReplyDeleteA lovely Irish cottage. And it sounds like there was plenty of good Irish craic.
ReplyDeleteIt looks (and sounds) perfect. Just what you needed. I am a tad jealous of the nine hours without getting up to piddle though.
ReplyDeleteOh, Nuala's house is adorable!
ReplyDeleteA perfect setting.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely cottage!! 9 hours uninterrupted sleep?? Oh how divine.
ReplyDeleteThe cottage is gorgeous. Excellent sleep.
