Fascinating read! I love the parts about growing up with nature. Many happy childhood years spent in Ireland over the summer holidays. 6 weeks....have breakfast and out the door playing in the woods and exploring Trim Castle where we stayed. In the days before health and safety πŸ˜† I climbed to the top of that Castle once and the view was breathtaking. Love this article Louise!!

I love that this connected with you, Rich! What a brilliant childhood it sounds like you had - what freedom! And for you to have appreciated that view as a child, just shows how mature you must have been! I was so enraptured by things I could get my hands on, I don’t remember taking in the landscapes much as a child funnily enough

It was a magical time. Growing up in the 70s and 80s in that environment was bliss. I was the youngest of the cousins and then a new brood arrived 8 years later, so we had the please of watching them grow up and enjoy all the same pleasures πŸ™
