Description

James Kavanagh & William Murray are leaving Dublin, which they’ve called home together for the last 11 years, in search of a simpler life in the countryside. They’ve bought a house in Kilkenny with an acre of mature garden ready for planting & growing. They also want to raise chickens & maybe a few ducks. Listen along as the city-to-country transition unfolds and figure out with them if it truly will be a simpler life...

On a dusk dash to the polytunnel, Wiliam locked eyes with Elton, our rescued hedgehog, who we haven't seen since releasing him into our garden at the start of July. We are feeding him some cat food to help fatten him up for the big sleep. Stay tuned for updates. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
William has had too many margaritas (whoops) but motors on and does an ok job at talking. They discuss a recent trip to Donegal, finding Sarah Jessica Parker's house and James was at a wedding at Powerscort Hotel. This is the popcorn seasoning they put on the potatoes: FLAVACOL. Be caredful, it's wildly addictive. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
