What can I say about my own answers to the 20 Questions Quiz? I mean, it would be weird to build up what I say below in a lead-in paragraph right? Let's just go with this: I'm a local photographer and website/social media marketer who was fortunate to leave the "rat race" 4 years ago and move to the country with my family to live a better life. I love Westport the landscape, but also the people and the businesses. It's an amazing place to "root" and grow old. I hope my answers below reflect some of that.
The Cove Country Inn is a staple in Westport. I don't think you can meet someone who visits the village that hasn't been to The Cove for lunch on their patio in the summer or dinner and a show to see an awesome musician/band. The Cowan family are the amazing owners and Seamus Cowan is the one that keeps the Inn full of fresh ideas, amazing eats, local drinks and tunes in the air.
