Enniskerry is a unique and picturesque village in Co. Wicklow. Back in South Africa, where I was born, the magnificent Cape mountain range with the prominent Helderberg Dome surrounds one and provides a constant sense of place. So do the Wicklow mountains enclose Enniskerry, with the famous Sugarloaf aways visible as a landmark when one is out and about in Wicklow, my chosen home in Ireland.
My Irish grandmother left Ireland for a better life at age 18, never to return, but being of the new generation blessed with the benefits of air travel, I am able to return to make a contribution.

It’s great to be back in Enniskerry to work again! The exciting news, in addition, is that we are moving to a new shop right in the village square (previously occupied by Petals and Sand), just behind the monument. We’re in the process of re-furbishing and aim to be up and running by the end …
