Better late than never.

As soon as I decided to move overseas, I knew I wanted to take up blogging again.  For several years I wrote an online journal about my part-time career as a sheep farmer and enjoyed the opportunity to be creative and share my everyday life with whoever happened upon my writing.  I created this new blog in January, with plans to post daily about my plans, details and photos from the move itself, and of course, all my new experiences.  So much for good intentions.  Preparing for the move was more overwhelming than I imagined and the trip to Ireland was exhausting.  My health suffered tremendously.  After I arrived, my computer blew up the first time I plugged it in and though I didn't lose anything on my hard drive, my photos ended up duplicating and triplicating themselves and are now randomly stored on my iPhone, iPad, and in hundreds of folders on my new hard drive.  This was not going to be easy.  I have been keeping up with my posting on Instagram, under the username FilbertSheep, and vowed I would get the blog up and running sooner rather than later.  Now, four months into the new year, the blog is just now becoming functional.  The talented John Lennon said in song, "Life is what happens when you are making other plans."  In my case, my life happened while I was planning to blog about it.  So, better four months late than never, here are my thoughts on everything from how to or not to become an expat, my experiences in my new life in a different land, and details of my never ending search for more sheep.  I hope you will come along for the ride!

Riley and me.  The adventure has just begun.
