Off again…

By Eileen KeaneWriting Travel Art ResidencyLeave a comment

I have headed off again- this time back to Corris in Wales for four weeks. The last month has been full of all kinds of stuff other than creative pursuits not least being ongoing problems with the car. I have had everything fixed that could be fixed in relation to the oil and last Friday…

Cill Rialig 2018 1

Getting more than you bargained for.

By Eileen KeaneHumour Travel Town twinning Argentré Farming6 Comments

A few weeks ago I went away for the weekend to Argentré-du-Plessis in Brittany on a trip that I wouldn’t even have considered a few years ago. Fly off with a bunch of strangers and stay with a French family I’d never met for the weekend?? Not me.  I’m way too cool for that sort…
