Arlene asked Tricia O'Malley:

Wondering if the descriptions of Gallagher's Pub (Grace's Cove) and Tipsy Thistle (Enchanted Highlands) are based on actual Pubs or are they just from your imagination? I love the descriptions of both of these and have a local Irish Pub here where I live and love to talk to the owners, both of which I have known for more than 20 years.

Tricia O'Malley HI Arlene

Thank you for the question. They are a mix of both! We live part of the year in Scotland, and so I love to visit little local pubs in small towns. For Gallagher's Pub, that is based off some of my favorite pubs in Dingle, Ireland. And for Tipsy Thistle I've based it on a few pubs, one in Inverararay and another favorite, Ensign Ewert, right on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh.

Sparkle on.
