"Who Needs a Time Machine?" On my travels around Crohy Head I came across this stunning little traditional cottage. As you can see it's completely untouched over the past 100 years at least. There is no running water, electricity or any modern appliances whatsoever & the best part is, that someone actually lives in this little thatched cottage! I've heard folk speak about a lone gentleman who emigrated here years ago from Scotland to escape the modern world & now permanently lives here. I knocked his front door hoping to get a yarn with him, but sadly nobody seemed to be home.
Just imagine waking each morning on this stunning unchanged shore to the sound of crashing waves & singing sea birds. Far away from “The rat race” or “Keeping up with the Joneses”. Now that is truly worth escaping from.
Some folk may believe he has lost his marbles or that it would be unbearable to live a solitary life with no modern services that we all seem to rely on to survive. However the simple life may just be a better one for us all? He has my utmost respect & certainly has the right outlook on life. Not only did he move to a new country but it seems like he almost wanted to travel back in time & relive a life similar to the days he was most happiest in…..
Milestone days

The prompt for today on @ahouseindays is 'it's a wrap' so I thought I'd put up the day we wrapped on getting heat in the cottage during renovations.
Up until that point we had no heating and no door...needless to say, it was a tad chilly as we worked away in there doing the walls etc. Getting the heat in was a huge day as it let us work there during the winter. Some days we had so many layers of clothes on we could barely move!! Getting the stove in gave us not only heat it also meant we could boil a kettle for tea [there was no lecky at this stage either!] and make toasted sandwiches or heat up something for lunch. #ahouseindays #irishcottagereno #cottage #cottagestyle #irishcottage #renovationproject #milestones #bestdays #westofireland #countrylifestyle #country
You can see what it looks like now in yesterdays post
dreaming of living in a little Irish cottage with red windows and a view out to the Atlantic Ocean... (see the link in our bio to discover 41 more homes with an ocean view )
