Forty-six years in Ireland: Jenny Pyburn, Schull
My parents moved here in 1970. My mum would say west Cork was 50 years behind England. You could buy a property at the edge of the water here that you couldn't afford any more in England.
We were here when Bloody Sunday happened. That was a very difficult time for the English community. The rector and priest went together to every family in the parish. They came and talked to all of us, and they were amazing.
I have seen a lot of English people come and go. They have unrealistic expectations, and expect things to be cheaper, and don't realise that hospitals have to be paid for and are two hours away.
The biggest mistake English people make is not understanding the Irish ways. If you're coming to another country, you have to learn their ways. Ireland is not England
