{"product_id":"9781624887246","title":"Melia and Mike, a Love Story","description":"I first met Melia and Mike in August 2002 when my cousin and I stayed in their bed and\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ebreakfast. It was their last year in the bed and breakfast business. We were so impressed with\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003etheir friendliness and hospitality. My cousin had spent a good part of her heyday in Skerries and\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ethe visit brought back wonderful memories for her. For me, the visit was similar to what Melia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ehad first experienced. I fell in love with Skerries too. I decided to come back the following July\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eand August and, with Melia\"s help, I was able to rent a house nearby. She supplied me with\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eextra towels, bed linens and some food items. There was always a welcome for me at their place\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eand I enjoyed many lovely visits. I came back the following year and spent the same two\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003emonths in another house overlooking the water almost opposite Cois Farraige. We became very\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003egood friends and shared a mutual affection. I loved listening to their stories of growing up in\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIreland and how they met.","brand":"BookBaby","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47113634218224,"sku":"9781624887246","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781624887246_p0.jpg?v=1763863536","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781624887246","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
