to all of the kind people who i met along the way
keiran, who helped me navigate my way to ireland
bronwyn, who shared adventures with me
karen, who shared more adventures
the morgan clan, who treated me like one of their own
robin, the keeper of the castle
and
all of the many strangers
who i crossed paths with
and
who became friends
like tric, my long lost irish sister
welcoming me
into their
homes, villages, fields, seas,
castles, towns, farms, churches, hotels,
gardens, inns, pubs, and country manors
and of course
the friendly barkeepers
who were always there and ready to help
with questions answered
and shared stories
wherever i happened to land
i am truly grateful to one and all for making it so special for me.
