Finding My Place

Hi, I’m Helen.

Moving from England to Ireland in my late 30s was my first step towards a life that felt more grounded — closer to nature, quieter, and calmer. I’m sharing this journey alongside Martin, who is returning home to Ireland after spending over 25 years living in England.

This channel is a real-time, honest look at settling into life in Ireland whilst still navigating corporate work. Together, we’re learning as we go — spending more time outdoors, working in the garden, growing our own food, taking on DIY projects on our 55 year old country house, exploring hidden places across Ireland, and using exercise to support our wellbeing.

Here you’ll find everyday life through a slower lens: gardening, homesteading, simple living, travel, and compassionate reflections on life in England vs Ireland.

We are still finding our place — and maybe you are finding yours too?
Follow along and let’s find it together.
