US actress Sarah Jessica Parker and family swapped the bright lights of New York City for quiet Kilcar this New Year.
The celebrity family welcomed 2019 in their Donegal cottage along the coast, which Sarah described as a ‘remote but beautiful land far away’. Although she did have a few words to say about the poor wifi connection!
The Sex and the City star shared a New Year’s wish from the North West with her 5 million Instagram followers this week.
As always, SJP had some poetic words to say about her home from home in Donegal:
“Happy new year from a remote but beautiful land far away where wifi often eludes us but 2019 will not.
“Best to one and all in this coming year for good health, adventure, time with loved ones, patience, humor, perseverance, joy, good love and good loving,” she wrote.
She also shared a video of the cloudy Kilcar coastline view from the family’s newly-renovated cottage:
Sarah and Matthew created a lot of buzz in South Donegal this Christmas when they were spotted doing their groceries in Supervalu Killybegs and shopping in Elvery’s Sports Store Donegal Town.
The couple regularly visit Donegal where Broderick’s parents bought a home overlooking Donegal Bay more than 40 years ago. It is believed that this is the first year the family have been here for Christmas.
In Summer 2018, SJP wrote a love letter to Kilcar celebrating all she loves about Ireland:
