Living in Tallaghanbahn

When I arrived I was living in this very remote village called Tallaghanbahn   I loved it.  And I hated it.  I didn't have a vehicle and with all I had spent and was spending to figure out Lilly it was not going to happen.  Also, the house I was in was WAY too big for little ol' me!  I couldn't get it heated the water or the house.  I loved the people I rented from and the village was very quaint.  Next to the Wild Atlantic Way which was amazing! 

After two months and knowing Lilly wasn't coming I decided to move.  I found a lovely 2 bedroom near Belmullet called Blacksod.  And I went and moved.  Again remote but RIGHT ON THE OCEAN!  It was so beautiful.  The one big issue was no internet.  UGH!  Anyone that knows me knows I cannot be without my trusted internet.  So, when my visitor came I told her we were moving.  I am not going to go too much into visitor because I love her daughter and I don't want anything in here to upset her.  I will say we went to Northern Ireland, Dublin and down to Blarney Castle area.  Really fun! 

So, after a month in Blacksod I found an ad on daft.ie for a little cottage in Lacken for 300 euros a month!  When I went to talk to landlady she said I could have it for 200!  Needless to say it was perfect!  2+bedrooms and internet!  Right near Ballina and Killala so not as remote!  Have a car so able to get where I need to go.  And I help my landlady with her "Aunt" who is bedridden and 95 years old.  Met friends here.  Play Bingo here.  And started dating here!  So the next blogs will be all about that!  Hope you are enjoying!
