info_outlineOn today’s podcast I chatted with Londoner, Len Lipitch who celebrates 50 years living in Ireland this year.
He started off as an accountant and working on one of the first “Flower Power” festivals changed his career trajectory.
Len worked providing visuals to touring bands, he worked in a number of different countries and then he came to Ireland for a simpler life. He came to West Cork, bought a cottage for £1,000 and ended up living without water or electricity with a donkey called Honk, who was his only mode of transport for two years!
Many years later after some twists and turns a Tarot Card reader told him that his life was about to change, and days later he picked up a young German hitchhiker, Sabine Lenz, which was the beginning of a very special love story and a successful jewellery business, Enibas.
