About

Welcome to farawayfields.

I live on a farm in the West of Ireland with my family and an assorted mix of animals – two dogs, one cat, five alpacas, a horse, a donkey, a little flock of poultry (which also fluctuates in size depending on how many predators are around at the time!) and many many cattle.

I am recently retired, and so should now be free to do all kinds of things like travel, cook, garden, or just ramble around the lovely countryside that surrounds me.  Covid 19 has for the moment put paid to my travels, but there is still lots to do. So in here I will share whatever I’ve been up to that you might find interesting.  I’d love to hear your comments.
