Same! I'm headed up in August and have my own itinerary brewing, as I grew up in Northern MA, but will always keep my eyes & ears open for of-the-moment recs ◡̈
I'm so grateful you linked to the March announcement post! I somehow missed it and have been dying to know where you're headed.
Do you know Shauna Niequest? She has shared her adventure moving from the Midwest to Manhattan on Instagram and her latest book, I Guess I Just Haven't Learned That Yet. She's a great cook, so I think her insights on kitchen essentials in a tiny kitchen would be helpful.
We have two in college and one still finishing high school, and this is a constant conversation here. We've started talking about Ireland (I can work remote from anywhere and my husband is ready for retirement (USFS requires fire fighters retire by 57). I have said, when college tuitions are over, I'm gifting myself at least an annual fall trip to NYC ---I love it so!
I just ordered Shauna’s book on your recommendation. I went to Ireland last year and loved it. I qualify for British citizenship as my parents were born in Scotland, where I’d love to live...but too old now. Oh well.
Is there an age limit for moving there? Otherwise, never too old! I hope you enjoy Shauna---her writing definitely contains a Christian POV but I don't find hers off-putting or exclusive, iykwim.
We love Damariscotta! The oysters! My husband grew up vacationing in Pemaquid (just down the road from Damariscotta) so it has always been a special vacation spot for us. We were there last year and had bagels and pizza from Oysterhead Pizza-worth a visit next time you’re up that way.
Headed to Maine next week-your dispatch can’t come soon enough!

If you haven't read it already, you have to check out the book Midcoast by Adam White - it's set in Damariscotta. It's so good!!
I read it! Definitely enjoyed it, and the fact I’ve been to Damariscotta multiple times made me enjoy it even more.
You’ve inspired me to tinker with a couple of oyster recipes for bisque and appetizers! Only Damariscotta oysters will do.
I just subscribed, but can’t find the bonus about the Maine vacation.
I’m pretty slow with technology and would appreciate some guidance!
You’ll get it on Friday, July 14! Thanks for the support. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
