Episode 69 – An American Honeymoon at Faurel Hill…

An American Honeymoon at Faurel Hill: The Unexpected Horn Symphony & Doorbell Drama… by Morgan and Paula…

We arrived at Mae’s home, excited for a quiet night filled with laughter and maybe a pint or two or a bit of teq-kill-ya ( which Morgan brought). Instead, we found ourselves suddenly part of an unscripted local performance art piece: The Bully Chronicles.

It started innocently enough, a calm evening, Chinese takeaway, good company. Then, without warning, the tranquility shattered like a dropped pint glass. Enter Bully, blowing his horn so loudly and aggressively it could probably be heard all the way in Dublin. If the goal was to rattle the nerves of everyone present, congratulations – mission accomplished.

But wait, there’s more. Not content to simply blare his horn from the safety of his truck, Bully escalated to full doorbell theatrics. Yes, he marched right up, rang the bell with the intensity of a contestant desperate for attention on a reality show, and then stomped back to his truck like a kid who’d just thrown a tantrum in the grocery aisle.

We kept looking at each other, half-expecting a marching band or maybe a fog machine to appear next. Is this some Faurel Hill tradition? A test of patience for visitors? Or just Bully’s unique way of saying hello?

Honestly, we’re still unsure. But here’s what we do know:

• If there were awards for ‘Loudest Horn Blast’ or ‘Most Dramatic Doorbell Entry,’ Bully would be the undisputed champion.
• Faurel Hill may be peaceful most days, but on Bully’s watch, it turns into a reality TV set – minus the cameras (or so we hope).
• Despite the unexpected soundtrack, the warmth of Mae and the magic of this ancient place kept us smiling through it all.

So, future honeymooners, take note: Ireland is beautiful, Faurel Hill is charming, and the hospitality… well, it might come with a side of horn blasts and doorbell drama.

We’ll be raising a quiet toast to quieter nights, but honestly, we’re kind of glad we witnessed this wild slice of Faurel Hill life. It’s a story we’ll never forget.

And Bully? If you’re reading this, maybe consider a new hobby. Have you thought about professional horn blowing? Because you’re definitely talented.
