Allow your animal instincts to guide you to Derryclough

Tommy Barker takes flight to west Cork and unearths a distinct hideaway habitat.

YOU’VE heard, perhaps, of the owl and the pussycat? Well, the sequel also includes a horse, a couple of haughty Peruvian llamas posing as security bouncers, bounding Hungarian Vizsla pointer dogs, and a couple of animal lovers, who’ve fashioned a fairly distinct hideaway habitat — typical west Cork, really.

A couple who’ve made a home for themselves, very much a place apart but also just an hour from Cork city, have now decided to move once more, to join family in New Zealand.
