I would be the last person to be able to give advice! When I go to Ireland they call me 'the New Zealander', in this country they call me that 'mad red haired Irish joker' .

Yes, I know what you mean, I emigrated to Ireland 25 years ago from England, in Ireland I'm a blow in there I'm a foriegner, here in NZ im a tourist!

Yeh, I have a brother who lives on the Dingle Peninsula. There anyone who is from even a short distance away is a "blow-in".Plus it is a Gaeltacht area, so a major disadvantage if one is not fluent in Gaelige. And I don't think he knows a word of it- him coming from New Zealand.
Actually, very cold lately, in Ireland- and I imagine- the UK.
What brought you to Ireland, in the first place? I have visted Sligo a few times- usual tourist thing etc.

Dubliners dream - buy a cottage with a bit of land in the West and well here, sorry there I am.

Gottcha. One of my uncle's bought a place in the West, somewhere, as a holiday home, in 1950. Around 40 years later, someone in the village actually spoke to him! Trying to think where it is...
