Too, can you show us where Billy lives in relation to the pub?<br /><br />I absolutely love the series. What happened to the title Shelter from the Storm? I saw it listed on Fantastic Fiction.<br /><br />I am also up to Picked to Die in the apple orchard series. I love it too. <br /><br />Hope you’ll consider a picture of the pubs lay out.. I just can’t figure it all out...and I want to.<br /><br />Thank you for some cozy great mysteries and some wonderfully memorable characters.<br /><br />Karen White, a fan from Union City, TennesseeAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06270682361352760473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893315323471869957.post-82340861360464061672017-09-05T15:08:36.122-07:002017-09-05T15:08:36.122-07:00Maybe you can find a Chifferobe in a 2nd hand shop...Maybe you can find a Chifferobe in a 2nd hand shop or one of the bigger market centers?

And he never stops--every time I look out a window he's doing something for one of our little group of properties.<br /><br />I would have gone with Dermot, but my neighbor behind is Irish-born (though she lived in England for decades) and she says Dear-Mwid (or something like that). She would know better than I.<br /><br />Yes, he's an angel dropped from heaven. And he didn't charge me a penny for the first six months he was working (we have since settled up, and outlined what's to come). He is happy to explain each task in extensive detail. (Like how he had the hedge plants delivered by the truckful from Limerick, the next county up, because it's cheaper that way and the plants are in better condition than if they came from a local nursery.Sheila Connollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05165644581595919711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893315323471869957.post-10869273503744045422017-08-28T11:55:17.280-07:002017-08-28T11:55:17.280-07:00Does he realize how soon the end of the month is? ...Does he realize how soon the end of the month is?

The building up the hill actually looks kind of like the real place it's modeled on. (It really is a hotel, much as described in the book.) Diarmuid is amazing, and he also enjoys talking, so I know a lot about his history and the history of the area, which is very handy.Sheila Connollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05165644581595919711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893315323471869957.post-8914055281844873292017-08-28T11:09:23.695-07:002017-08-28T11:09:23.695-07:00Sheila, Your dream cottage sounds idyllic and your...Sheila, Your dream cottage sounds idyllic and your handyman a dream come true.
