Must Love Diana Cooper

Airbnb is always an interesting experience! 

I’ve been staying in a tiny village off the coast in North Donegal.

My host is a German woman. Her home is called Angels’Home and is full of angel cards, feathers, crystals etc. 

In a way it’s charming. 

She is a committed devotee of Diana Cooper,  a new age writer.  

For many reasons I am not.  I made the error of saying so and therefore appear to have set my hostess a challenge. For the next three days she talked ‘new age concepts’ at me barely pausing to breathe.

She saw angels, fairies, goddesses, unicorns and power animals round every corner and often referred to herself as having been one of these archetypes for real in other lifetimes.

She is a vegan who only eats organic food and her breakfasts were really unusual and delicious. 

She is writing ‘The Fairies’Recipe Book’ which she anticipates will be a world wide phenomenon. 

As a medium and workshop leader she runs healing workshops and kindly treated me to one of these sessions by taking me out and about to her special healing places. 

I have reservations about her being an angel, fairy, unicorn or whatever, but the places she took me were breath taking.

In spite of my skepticism when she predicted that I’d be moving to live in Donegal within the next few months, I will definitely be coming back to this exceptional part of Ireland.
