Pam interviewd by Ruth Medjber
Season 1, Ep. 229, Friday, August 21, 2026
Pam mentioned in her directions that the path to her home was a little “off the beaten track” and she really wasn’t lying. As we drove our big camper down the little boreen, we came to her perfect wee house. She had a table set within the walled gardens where we chatted in the sunshine.
Pam and her husband are living an idyllic life, but it's very different to the one they first set out for themselves. They’ve turned their backs on investment banking, and instead have chosen a greenhouse full of organic avocados and lemons, a field of geese and an amazing shebeen for private gatherings and community workshops.
