Really looking forward to brining REBEL WIFE to West Cork! West Cork People West Cork Hist Fest West Cork Arts Centre Fastnet Film Festival Clonakilty, West Cork, Ireland
Edith Anna Œnone Somerville was born in Corfu #onthisday in 1858 but within a year she moved to Castletownshend, Co. Cork.
Art training took her to London, Düsseldorf, and Paris; her travels with Violet Martin (Ross) to Denmark. Above all she wanted to be a great painter.
Delighted to find a kind neighbour left this on our doorstep this morning to 'bring in the May'.

Co. Tipperary's Bridget Cleary burnt by her husband in 1895! Said he believed her spirit taken by bad faeries & replaced with a changeling! 'Are you a witch, or are you a fairy/Or are you the wife of Michael Cleary?' Irish nursery rhyme! Served 15 years in prison. #WyrdWednesday
