Was in early to get my seat at the opening lectures for @yeatssocietysligo.bsky.social #YeatsSummerSchool in Sligo, now in its 66th year - I’ve spent the last 50 wanting to attend! So excited. And two excellent talks kicked us off this morning

Happy 40th Birthday Cuirt Festival of Literature, kicking off today in Galway - I'm looking forward to getting over there on Friday, my first time back since 1999! www.irishtimes.com/culture/book...
Cúirt literature festival at 40: ‘There is a sense of an Irish writing culture exploding around the world’
When I was an impoverished student sustained by Pot Noodles, the Cúirt International Festival of Literature introduced me to literature I would not have encountered otherwise

Loved this - am a big fan of the power of letters to instantly bring us back to the past in the way that a text or email can never do - and also have a stash of treasured letters from the '80s and '90s
Delighted to have a script on tomorrows @sundaymiscellany.bsky.social. Called Letters From The Past, it describes the joy of finding a bag of letters from 1983, written by my Ma to me who was working as a rep in Gran Canaria for JWT. I hope you enjoy. 9am

Setting the clock! (Taking the extra hour into consideration)
The delight of a handwritten letter, the beauty of Ireland's South-West, and a mother-daughter rite of passage. #sundaymiscellany is on the way

I started coming to Lahinch just over a year ago, at the start of 2024, and I’ve come nearly every month since - being on the beach for sunrise is just joyous
