New here and saying helloHi from Ireland Hi there my name is Pat and my wife's name is Rosalind. This is not a great site to talk to people on but we live in hope...lol we live in the County of Fermanagh near a place called Belleek. We are both retired and we have a home here as well as a place in England.. We show dogs for fun and just recently we were at Crufts where one of our dogs did really well.

Anybody thinking of retiring to another country?Hi I hope you do not think it too presumptuous of me to say hi. My wife and I were in exactly the same situation a few years back in England and we think you should consider Ireland. We live near a place called Belleek in Fermanagh, which is technically in the UK but close to the Donegal Border. There are loads of non Irish here about 25 %, the houses are very affordable and in fact a friend of mine lived in Ontario for 30 yrs and he has settled here. The Irish are very welcoming and we live 10 mins from a 7 mile beach one way and 10 mins from the mountains the other way. The community life is wonderful , me and my wife could be out 7 nights a week at various pastimes if we chose too. Being right on the border of the UK and The Republic of Ireland we are very spoilt and the life here is so wonderful and the people so friendly and welcoming that you wont need to move with anyone else if you don't want. If you would like to know more or whatever just say hi . If not then good luck on your hunt Pat & RosalindViewDate:

Finding good new friendsHi Gina No worries, I also find it hard to navigate this site so you are not alone. My wife's family hail from Wales and mine come from Ireland. It makes for an interesting time when Wales play Ireland in the Rugby ever year ..lol. What part of the states are you in, we have friends in Tennessee and relations in Arizona. We both retired ( young ), I sold my company and we live the good life here in lovely Fermanagh right next to Donegal . We spend most of our time walking and showing the dogs ,of which we have two. Their breed is Russian Black Terrier, do not let the terrier part mislead you they are big dogs . For example the eldest one weighs 55 Kg ( which is on the smaller side for the breed) Anyway keep in touch and if you are ever in Ireland come stay with us we have plenty of room and get lots of visitors all year round. Take care PatViewDate:

I live in Fermanagh in Northern Ireland although we also have a house in Ibstock Leicestershire which we rent out. Anyway if you want to say hello sometime that would be lovely and I promise just like my dogs I do not bite ...lol Take care PatrickViewDate:

Just to say hello - [DELETED_MEMBER]Hi Tia Thank you for saying hello. It is always nice to hear from people and learn about them . My wife Rosalind and I moved over here just over two years ago just at the start of the pandemic. We both love it here and it is very much like Scotland with the hills and lakes in our part of the world. We are the proud owners of two big soppy dogs and they are our babies now . The breed is called Russian Black Terrier and to give you an example the eldest who is 5 is 54 Kg. her name is Laika which is a Russian name and the other younger one is 3 and she is about 44 Kg her name is Kizzie. I am glad you enjoyed your visit to Ireland and we always try our best to make people feel welcome . We live near the Donegal border in a place called Belleek , its a lovely place famous for its pottery We are lucky enough to have the beach on one side about 10 Mins away and the woods , lakes and hill on the other side about the same distance away. The thing that surprises us the most is the number of English , Welsh and Scots that live here. I guess that is due to the quality of Life and the cost of the houses here. For example our next door neighbour is from Glasgow and she has been here about 20 years and some other friends we have made are both Geordies. lol Anyway thanks again for the reply and who knows you might come to Ireland one day and visit .. see what you are missing lol just kidding. Take care PatrickViewDate:
