Hi Imen,
Just discovered your website and how I laugh. I’m from Cork city myself and married a Kerry farmer. Whilst it may not present as much of a culture shock as yours, the country v city divide is just as evident! Anyway, it was great to find a like -minded person in a similar sometimes idyllic, sometimes bleak situation (depending on the season!). Write on, Anne BB
I have really enjoyed reading your blog. I came across it from the Irish Fireside. I have family in Galway/Roscommon Border who live on the farm that my great grandmother grew up on. I have visited all of the cousins in Mount Talbot, Ballinure, Ballinamore Bridge, Athlone, and Antrim. I am absolutely taken with the country side and enjoy your charming description of assimilating into the farm culture! It sounds corny, but I felt right at home with this family as if I had know them all my life. Some of them are very different from how I live, but I loved it just the same! Where in the states are you from?

Thanks so much, I’ll be looking for more.
