    I'm one of those "Blow In" Brits from England as I've been called in rural West of Ireland. I purchased a run down old cottage with no neighbours, nearest neighbour is a old fella like him in the video, when I first went past his cottage I thought it was derelict and empty. I moved here just before Covid, it's only been me checking on the old guy and getting his grocery shopping once a week to avoid covid. Loneliness I've found is a big problem in rural Ireland, very sad.

Now there's one pub and the nearest place to get a pint of milk is five miles away. Not the end of the Earth, but awkward for older country people, who's ranks I'm beginning to join!! They buy up the shops and pubs to make housing, accountants and small businesses buy up smaller shops (like the old hairdressers) so they can work in a rural environment, and they have more financial clout than a girl doing hair.

    It's the country air and manure. It keeps you young and healthy. I feel terrible for him though. Cavan is a very forgotten place at the best of times and the older citizens really suffer as a result. I work in the medical field and the hospital coverage in Cavan is atrocious. If anybody wants to get an MRI or a CT-Scan for life threatening illness for example, they have to travel a fair distance to have it done. The alternative is to go on the public waiting list in Cavan General, but you might be dead by the time it happens. Desperately sad.
