Connie, I couldn't agree with you more! My sentiments exactly.

[@lindaroyal8161]

Well said, couldn't agree with you more. I'm also a proud grandma of our Catherine. Maybe we should start a "Proud Adoptee Grandma Club".

[@ellaaltman2137]

Catherine, you are an amazing Ambassador for Ireland! Thank you for the beautiful tour, the Castles, the pretty cottages, the gardens. Write a second book? Oh girl that is a definite Y-E-S! Funny I've just been seeing ads for the no-heat curling and thought have to put that in the cart - and there you were with a demo. As always thank you for letting us tag along!

[@DaintyDiaries]

Thanks so much Ella ❤️

[@DONTcareAnymore000]

I agree. I'm a teenager from Southeast Asia, and I feel considering West of Ireland to my bucket list as soon as I earn my own means to travel.

Hi Catherine 🥰 do you write a bit about your life in your book? Your beautiful spirit and productivity and ability are so wonderful and I wonder how you came to be this way? 💕😊💕

[@laurasexton7450]

I was there, in 2016, visiting my daughter who lived in County Waterford, at the time. Found out our last name is big in Limerick. But we stayed in Adare for a few nights.We walked to the pubs at night from our B&B because of the traffic.

[@taracat7141]

Thanx for taking us along!! My ancestry is county Cork, but I've never been to Ireland.... It's stunning in the summertime🏵💜🏵💜

Also, we would be great friends! I have had to wee in many a strange locale, I love flowers and gardening, I am adventurous and I afraid to be alone, and just love to do what my heart desires. Now, that’s not to say I do or I can, but I would if given the chance! I will have to settle for imagining I am your friend.

Oh wow.. Catherine your vlog bought back wonderful memories of my trips to Ireland - I've been to the west of Ireland 🇮🇪🍀💚. I visited Bunratty & Adare, drove the wild atlantic way & the Cliffs of Moher are just stunning, among many other beautiful counties. I'm from New Zealand & my daughter lives in Dublin .. an awesome city - all the very best for your book too 😊

[@andreaacarbonell4185]

Love your videos! We visited Ireland almost 17 years ago from America! The nicest people! I’ll be ordering your book! I hope it signed! Take care! Andrea from Connecticut in USA

Okay Ireland looks cool af, like the cities in England are nice enough but these places have so much personality!

Loved going on this little jaunt with you. My cousin and his wife just moved to Dublin so it was wonderful to see all the beautiful places they might explore soon. Hope I'll be able to visit them one day, I've already started making a list of the places you went and recommended that I want to see too. Much love from South Africa 😄

On a bus tour and had to be up and out by 7 am!!!! Would love for you to show us around Dublin to see what I remember from there. Happy I found you. Didn’t realize you are a published author. Congratulations 🎈🎊🍾
