Exploring the Literary Capital of Ireland ☘️

[@Clisare]

Hey guys! So I am currently too pregnant to be heading down to Kerry, but Listowel Writer's Week is on this week, otherwise known as the Listowel International Writer's Festival. It's a big event in the Irish calendar and I was lucky enough to get a tour of the Kerry Writer's Museum last year with the son of one of Listowel's most renowned writers. He was a great tour guide and a character and I thought I'd share! Check out the Festival 2024 programme: writersweek.ie/programme/ If you're in a position to support the channel, check clisare.rocks/membersonly 🙏🏻 ☘ The #IrishBucketList ☘ 🎟 Kerry Writer's Museum Tour: kerrywritersmuseum.com/ 📸 instagram.com/kerrywritersmuseum/

From a book I own called The Little Book of Irish Wisdom, in the section titled Irish Toasts: May there be a generation of children on the children of your children. Slainte

Too pregnant is a fantastic thing to be.

[@MrRosebeing]

Could you not have made the trip in a wheelbarrow? I'm joking, of course. Look after yourself and the little one. That's the most important thing in the world.

[@dns984]

I wonder, was the boy that didn't know arithmetic, Tommy Tiernan?

[@BugMed]

Congrats on the pregnancy. That festival sounds wonderful. I hope they have it next year. Have added it to my list of things to do.

[@RaymondLeonard-z8m]

SO Thoroughly entertained. I could listen to his stories all day. Thank you, this was a real treat.

[@freeplace5243]

I must put Listowel on my list of places to visit on my trip to Ireland, looks very interesting. Clare, all the best!

[@osasunaitor]

I'm from the Basque Country, but Kerry is my favourite county in Ireland ❤ The landscapes, the culture, the remoteness and peace... Can't wait to go back!

[@Peg79]

What an interesting video! ❤😊

[@therachaeledit]

I am a writer. My grandmother was from Listowel and I recognise each of those 5 surnames mentioned from researching my family tree. I’m convinced it is my Irish genes that made me a writer. I will visit Listowel and the museum some day!

[@urbanmetro]

Yeeeeah Listowel I've lived in Listowel for a year about ten years ago. It makes me so happy to see a video about this town as I'm so far away ❤

[@WeBlanchin]

It's a lovely building, I gave a presentation there about a year back.

I really enjoyed that. Thank you very much

[@rysullivan84]

Thank you. That was delightful.

[@jeramy576]

Owen is brilliant! I just adore the Kerry accent though it may be from my love of the great Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh

[@mwflanagan1]

That was a worthwhile story jaunt, Clare. Thanks for introducing us to this gentleman.

[@erinoneill2194]

Thank you for sharing this brilliant moment in Kerry history! I hope you'll share more like this in future.❤

[@Gnostic_Plague]

Hope you’re getting along well with your baby. I’ve a 5 year old and I don’t envy what you’re likely going through. Guess I just don’t like babies all that much. Thanks for the great videos. Cheers from LA. Thanks for helping me connect back with my fore father’s homeland.

[@Greg_Watchorn]

Heading down to Listowel next weekend to visit my fiancee's relatives so will definitely check out the museum ❤

One of your best, you journalist, you! And journalist is quite like a writer, isn't it? By the way, today is a day for Champagne though I know you must abstain -- Trump is guilty on all counts! Sentencing on 11 July (don't know why we have to wait until then, but it's not for me to say). Stay well! Take good care of your bundle and please say hi to Millie!
