What's there to do in that little town? Nothing! I mean, there's fishing. There are some nice rocks right below the house where you can fish for mackerel and flat fish called plaice, which is kind of like a flounder. The people fish in streams around there, too, but I don't. There is a lot of fishing. There is beautiful, beautiful hiking. It's so green because of the rain. The downside is you could spend a month there and barely get out because it just rains. It's incredibly lush, and there are not many trees, just rolling green hills with massive cliffs that go straight into the ocean. It's very dramatic. The main attraction to me is, honestly, the people, the farmers who have been there forever and ever. These families I have known my whole life are so interesting. They farm sheep, mostly.

Where can you stay if you don't have a home there? Millions of little bed-and-breakfasts, just people's homes you can stay in. There are also fancy hotels nearby. One is called Harvey's Point, which is really beautiful. That is a great place to stay and a great place to eat. Then there is a hotel in St. John's Point called Castle Murray. That's a lovely spot.

What were your impressions of Killybegs as a kid? I just remember how green it was, just the amount of rolling, bright green hills that you see. It's just stunning. Of course, my first memory was the peat in the fireplaces, the smell of burning peat everywhere, which I loved. I loved that we had this big stove and that I got to help load it with peat. It smells really good. I don't know how to describe it. It smells like peat. There is a whiskey called Lagavulin Whiskey that everyone says is very peaty. If you want to know what peat smells like, you have to have a little drink of that and maybe you will know.
