Destination: Ireland

What a beautiful morning outside – blue sky clear after the heavy rain that we had last night. A delightful smell is wafting through my open office window - it has its origins in the flowering Lilac trees outside. The scent is especially pungent thanks to the night’s rain.

Looking outside I see shimmering glimpses of our lake through the dense green of our surrounding oak, maple and pine trees. The green vista helps sharpen my thoughts which right now are focused on the emerald isle of Ireland. What could the content of my first Post be? Nearby a cluttered pile of post-it notes offers a variety of choices.

I cannot explain it, but Ireland will fill your clients, especially those who are explorers and have a sense of history and imagination, with a sense of wonder.

Ireland has always been the home of dreamers, poets, writers of all disciplines, dissidents and warriors. It also has always been charmed.” ………

For now – do come back – this is the beginning of quite a story ....
