16 years ago today we opened the doors to Dublin's newest bookshop.That @gutterbookshop.bsky.social continues to thrive today brings me so much joy. We created something that brought people together & celebrated books & reading. I feel like I added something good to the world & I'm so proud of that.

Photo of the open bookshop full of books, cards and colour. There's people browsing books and lots of light Photo of outside of the shop. The street is sunny and colourful with people walking past. Someone has just left the bookshop. You can see things in the windows and a glimpse of the Gutter sign.

The loveliest thing to hear some of these poems out in the wild last week, a storm raging up outside.
