Chickens In The Garden, Wellies By The Door: An American In Rural Ireland (en Inglés)
Reseña del libro "Chickens In The Garden, Wellies By The Door: An American In Rural Ireland (en Inglés)"
"I dreamed I was an old woman, but not too old, living in Ireland. I went for morning walks, sipped tea with the locals in the afternoons, and sat before a cheerful fire on cool evenings..."Find inspiration and laughter in this American's journey to and through the Emerald Isle. See the sights, meet the characters, and experience some of the adventures and often funny discoveries and adjustments that come with being "that American woman" living in Ireland. In 2013, Ms. Fadely, one-eighth Irish but one hundred percent American, moved from California to the country she fell in love with the first time she saw it. She didn't buy an old ruin to restore or go on a quest in search of her Irish roots, the things so many other Americans have done and written about, she didn't do anything noble or grand, she simply lived in a place she loved, basking in the culture and delighting in the beauty of the country, and the kindness and humor of the people she met. Along the way she kept a journal and from that journal Chickens in the Garden, Wellies by the Door was born.If you love Ireland and all things Irish you're sure to enjoy her observations, reflections, and stories about life in County Kerry. Learn to find your way around the supermarket through a maze of items identified by names different than those you've always known, and enjoy local festivals and customs. Breathe deeply of the fresh air and gaze upon the endless patchwork green and the baby lambs frolicking in the fields. Warm yourself by a turf fire in a cozy pub with a hot cup of tea or perfectly poured pint of Guinness. Listen to birdsong, fiddle tunes, and the lilt of Irish voices. Pick up some of the local lingo, and start thinking just a little more Irish. Keep your wellies by the door for the adventures and discoveries that await you and get used to seeing those chickens in the garden because you're in rural Ireland now. And as any local will tell you: "You're very welcome here!"Book Promo Video on youtube: https: //youtu.be/VTFynj6FhSIWherever you go, whatever you do, May the luck of the Irish be there with you!
