    Watching videos like this of older Irish people, their way of talking always reminds me of the way my Scottish highland grandparents spoke. Not the accent, but the lilt to it. We've lost that.

    The colloquial language and wit! I love when instead of saying we have no other option, he said we have no other optician! Fun playing with language.

    How wonderful. Walking from the front door into the heart of the home with the turf fire burning. I love the smell of burning turf it transports one back through time. Lovely man giving the story of the house.

      Turf burning really is an intoxicating aroma, there is nothing like it.

      Jackyblue67 Same its a very distinctive smell, like a mixture of grass leaves and wood.

    Is the puppy a Glen of Imaal terrier? Such a beautiful cottage. In the USA most people want big houses, but I prefer a small cottage any day! Thank you for the upload!
