      Foreword by Alice Taylor. An emigrant to England in the 1970s, Felicity knew she'd return to Corca Dhuibhne, Ireland's Dingle peninsula. Now she and her English husband have restored a stone house there, the focus for this chronicle in response to reader requests for an illustrated sequel to The House on an Irish Hillside.

      Enough Is Plenty
    • 'From the moment I crossed the mountain I fell in love. With the place, which was more beautiful than any place I'd ever seen. With the people I met there. And with a way of looking at life that was deeper, richer and wiser than any I'd known before. When I left I dreamt of clouds on the mountain. I kept going back.' We all lead very busy lives and sometimes it's hard to find the time to be the people we want to be. Twelve years ago Felicity Hayes-McCoy left the hectic pace of the city and returned to Ireland to make a new life in a remarkable house on the stunning Dingle peninsula. Beautifully written, this is a life-affirming tale of rediscovering lost values and being reminded of the things that really matter.
