Now listen up. Words to live by in 2025 (and beyond). Be the light.
An absolute pleasure to finally meet up with Felicity and her lovely Wilf, huge thanks to Sally and Lily of Banner Books for hosting, and to all who showed up. We'll be back!
Okay, I lied about the grand piano, but it was some night.

Massive thanks to Sally of Banner Books, Ennistymon, to Lily, and all who came.

And love and thanks to @roisinm.bsky.social x

Just putting my outfit together for tomorrow evening's shenanigans - would this do, @fhayesmccoy.bsky.social, or should I go a bit more formal?

Hey kids, we are a small Irish family business.

We make lovely things by hand.

Could you buy something so we can pay for our Christmas packaging?

Thanks a mill.

Date for the Clare diaries: next Tue 11th, myself and @fhayesmccoy.bsky.social will be chatting up a storm in Banner Books, Ennistymon. Two for the price of one - except that it's free. Free admission, free refreshments, free access to two, um, brilliant minds. Where would you get it? See you there.

Saddened to hear of the death of Sr Stan; did more quiet work for the homeless through Focus Ireland than all our empty-promise housing ministers together. RIP and thank you, Sr Stan.

So here we go, my 23rd offering, publishing in Ireland and online on Feb 5, all going well. The story of yoga teacher Lydia during the most tumultuous year of her life - I hope it finds favour with my cherished readers. 🙂🙂

Happy Halloween, all. Raining steadily here in West Clare, not a sign of a trick-or-treater - and I have a bowl full of mini chocolate bars. Whatever will I do with them?

2. Nomination. Even if nothing comes of it, I've been seen.
2. Fuchsia still alive. Nature is wonderful.
3. New addition to the family: my first grand-nephew.. Looks like he wasn't too pleased at having been whipped out, but he'll come to accept his fate like the rest of us. 😂
