After the loss of my husband, I had to make a choice: either to give up the farm or to carry on and make it my own. I decided to take on the farm myself and transform it into something sustainable and fruitful.

After years in Dublin, the Galwegian musician returned to her home village on the shores of Lough Corrib in the midst of the pandemic.

"I felt like this country gave me so much, I really fell in love with it. A way to give back through food was to educate people about the country and their cuisine and the history, because it's all so intertwined."

At the end of 2021, I lost everything I had in an overnight fire at my home in Boulder, Colorado. Without my beloved cat or my condo, my life completely fell apart.

"I left LA for New York in 2011 with, as they say, a suitcase and a dream. My first apartment was teensy tiny, but despite the criminally small square footage, filling it with furniture felt mind-blowingly intimidating".

Bobby's life was shaped by his family, education, and friendships that lasted a lifetime. His infectious personality and career in tax law marked his legacy.

"I'll never forget the care they gave me at the Royal Free Hospital. I want to make the most of this second chance."

I immediately purchased a one-way plane ticket to stay with her and help with my 2-year-old nephew and newborn niece. Over the next two and a half years, I watched my once strong and bossy sister slowly become bedridden.
