One can't swing a dead cat around these parts without hitting an O'Sullivan or one of their properties.

Kilcoe Castle. For those of you old enough to know who Jeremy Irons is, this is his castle. It was built in the 1600s and purchased by Irons in 1997.

Bears on the Move


 Monty has had enough of the craziness and convinced Wilbur to join him in going to Europe. After a short stint in Paris and Dijon, they are on the TGV train from Dijon to Strasbourg. Baguettes, pain au raisins, croissants, French ham and Coke with real sugar have opened Wilbur's eyes to the way food should taste. Germany is just across the river from Strasbourg and Monty says the bratwursts and pretzels are to die for!
