Excerpt from Under Croagh Patrick
Here we are! Croagh Patrick is rising before us in all the beauty of its exquisite shape; the trees that surround our lawn stretch to the foot of the hill. On the right, through the foliage, the sea shimmers and glistens in the glow of the setting sun. Looking out of the big bay window of our small sitting room on this landscape which for the past ten years has grown dearer to us, our old friend tells as she understands why we chose our retreat.
