call we are too
busy!!! (only

Residence: Manor
Avenue, Gy. |
|
What I'm doing
now: Dave and I
were married on the
Ross Tiger trawler
at the Heritage
Centre, coming up 7
years ago now (a
photo of which
featured in the
Grimsby Evening
Telegraph). We left
Grimsby over 4 years
ago, to live a very
different life. Talk
about one extreme to
another! With only a
few holidays in
Ireland under our
belt with no jobs,
friends or relatives
in Ireland to go to
we packed up the 3
children, the dog,
and anything else
that could earn us
money, and set off.
Dave left the
security of his job
at Lee's, the
Furnishers, and I
gave up child
minding, for what
can only be
described as the
biggest adventure of
our lives. Within 5
weeks we'd gone from
living in the centre
of Grimsby Town to
living in the
"sticks" in the
heart of rural
Ireland. We are now
living in Aglish,
North Tipperary, on
the boarders of
County Galway, Clare
and Offaly. Close to
Lough Derg and the
River Shannon. Up
until recently we
ran the village
shop. We also have a
"very unique" self
catering holiday
home that we rent
out, Conroy's Old
Bar. It's a typical
Irish village pub
that no longer holds
a liquor licence and
so we have carefully
adapted it into a 2
bedroomed holiday
home, being sure to
retain all of it's
charm and character.
Complete with fully
working bar,
openfire, kitchen,
double bedroom en
suite, super
kingsize bed and
double shower. What
can be better than
spending your "whole
holiday" in the pub?
We can even provide
a fully stocked bar
on request! We love
our life here and
wouldn't change it
for the world.
Although we do miss
our family and
friends (and
Lincolnshire
sausages!). Business
does mean we very
rarely get to back
Grimsby, but with
air fares being so
cheap and only an
hours flight away,
we often have
"Grimsby" come to
us! |

What I'm doing

Living in Paphos,

Jacqui, we live in a
hillside area close
to a local village.
Life is much slower
and it is cheaper to
live here,
especially when you
are retired. The
views are
spectacular and the
beach is only 3
miles away, but it
is cooler up in the
hillside areas and
less humid. We keep
track of events in
Grimsby/Cleethorpes
via the Grimsby
Telegraph and look
forward to returning
back for a holiday
next year.
