An Irish Country Cottage by Patrick Taylor Pdf

An Irish Country Cottage is a charming entry in Patrick Taylor's beloved New York Times and internationally bestselling Irish Country series. The New Year brings challenges and changes to the colorful Irish village of Ballybucklebo. The Christmas holidays have barely passed before a fire engulfs the humble thatched cottage housing of Donal Donnally and his family. Although the family escapes the blaze more or less unsinged, Donal, his wife, their three small children, and their beloved dog find themselves with nothing left but the clothes on their back. Good thing Doctors O’Reilly and Laverty are on hand to rally the good people of Ballybucklebo to come to their aid. Rebuilding the cottage won’t be quick or easy, but good neighbors from all walks of life will see to it that the Donallys get back on their feet again, no matter what it takes. Meanwhile, matters of procreation occupy the doctors and their patients. Young Barry Laverty and his wife Sue, frustrated in their efforts to start a family, turn to modern medicine for answers. O’Reilly must tread carefully as he advises a married patient on how to avoid another dangerous pregnancy. As a new and tumultuous decade approaches, sectarian division threaten to bring unrest to Ulster, but in Ballybucklebo at least, peace still reigns and neighbors look after neighbors.

The Perfect English Country Cottage by Lydia Greeves,John Miller Pdf

The Country Cottage - small-scale, harmonious, rooted in the landscape - seems to sum up all that is best about Britain. In this rich anthology Lydia Greeves and John Miller have sought out a range of visual treats from Cornwall to Northumbria, and from East Anglia to Wales. Some are unselfconscious reflections of place, showing how, for centuries, country people used the materials around them to create buildings that seem to grow out of their surroundings. These are the cottages that were built by hand, using vernacular traditions that resulted in the cob and thatch of the West Country, the half-timbering of the Weald and Welsh Borders, and the gabled golden stone of the Cotswolds. Others were built-to-order and architect-designed, forming trim terraces in a hundred estate villages; or set beside a waterway or on a remote coast for lock-keepers, coastguards and lighthouse attendants. Some cottages were built to be lived in, others as eye-catchers, their dripping thatch, ivy-covered walls and leaded gothic windows meant to be seen in a view across the park, or from the comfort of a carriage. And then, as today, there is the cottage as retreat, sought out by writers, artists and others seeking to escape the world. Drawing on a rich range of cottages now owned by the National Trust, Lydia Greeves explores all these themes, while John Miller's evocative photographs capture the unique appeal of what are perhaps Britain's greatest national treasures.

An Irish Country Love Story by Patrick Taylor Pdf

An Irish Country Love Story is the eleventh heartwarming installment in New York Times and Globe and Mail bestselling author Patrick Taylor's beloved Irish Country series. It’s the winter of 1967 and snow is on the ground in the colorful Irish village of Ballybucklebo, but the chilly weather can’t stop love from warming hearts all over the county. Not just the love between a man and woman, as with young doctor, Barry Laverty, and his fiancee Sue Nolan, who are making plans to start a new life together, but also the love of an ailing pensioner for a faithful dog that's gone missing, the love of the local gentry for the great estate they are on verge of losing, or Doctor Fingal Flahertie O’Reilly’s deep and abiding love for his long-time home and practice. For decades, ever since the war, Number One Main Street, Ballybucklebo, has housed O’Reilly and his practice. In recent years, it has also opened its doors to O’Reilly’s wife, Barry Laverty, and a new addition to the practice, Doctor Nonie Stevens, a sultry and occasionally prickly young woman who may not be fitting in as well as she should. It is to Number One that patients young and old come when they need a doctor’s care, for everything from the measles to a rare and baffling blood disease. An unexpected turn of events threatens to drive O’Reilly from his home for good, unless the entire village can rally behind their doctor and prove that love really can conquer all.
