Hi there. We are Niamh and Eoin – an Irish couple currently living in Kilcullen, Ireland, but with an apartment in Volterra, Italy. We try to get over to Italy as often as we can, even during pandemics! We first bought the place in December 2018, and our blogs begin in the summer of 2019, when came over for a couple of months on sabbatical.
Come join us, as we tour around the Val di Cecina, and in the Tuscan areas beyond, visiting hilltowns, learning about Italian culture, history… and of course, sampling foods and wines. If you’re interested in how it all began, then the best place to start would be the Blog Post Archive in the above menu.
Have fun, and enjoy, and please leave comments and ask questions.
Eoin & Niamh.

My workload was not crippling, although it challenged me given … Continue reading Our Return in October (09/10/2021)
