The long awaited day has arrived!
I received a delivery from my printers in Dublin, of my book, “A Cottage And Three Acres”. It is three years since I put the first chapter on the website and waited for feedback from you, dear supporters of what has become the Bealtaine Project.
I recall being both surprised and elated at the positive response to my writing and your encouragement to continue writing the book.
I decided to follow permaculture ethics and have the book printed here in Ireland.
I also decided to post the book from Bealtaine Cottage, making full use of my local Post Office which, like many rural Post Offices here in the west of Ireland, is under threat of closure!
This way, all the benefits of my effort, go to support rural Ireland, a place I love and care for!
One’s decisions in life have rippling effects on all one cares for…and evident that Permaculture can make a difference…
The book is being posted out from my local post Office here in the west of Ireland, as a most practical way of trying to keep my rural Post Office open…for the government has threatened closure on many! This is Pascal McKenna who runs my local Post Office in nearby Drumshanbo.
The books are packed here at Bealtaine Cottage…I have employed a friend to oversee this, who comes in each morning. As you can see, there’s a lot of work underway here!

Congratulations! Your book is here, what a tremendous achievement! I am so pleased for you and can’t wait to read it. Just one teeny question, if I order 2 copies to the same address do I pay one lot of P&P or double it up? Many thanks and bright blessings to you, Lovely Being xxx
Double as each book is packaged and posted separately. ( I have a lady working for me on the P&P.)
OK, thanks! Might just have to do one for now and one later!
Have just received my copy of your book. Have just flicked through it and can’t wait to start reading. Not yet though. Need to spend quality time with it!

Hi Colette Just so you know I have tried to place an order with two different cards my credit and my debit card , I have been told t hat I cannot use these cards despite there being a good balance in both these accounts.
Would have loved your book ,
Also you may be able to sell some of the books through Brigits garden near Galway of which I am a volunteer and a member , you can tell them that I suggested it.
Well done for using locally and being so ethical,
warm wishes Sandy

What fabulous news. I’ll have to wait a bit before ordering, but I definitely want to read this. Not only do you do great work around, inside and outside your property, but you are also trying to do all you can to support you national and local economies.
Just ordered my copy and cannot wait to read it. I have been following you for years and absolutely love your style.
