Thrilled to see Roisin’s marvellous ‘Moving On’ lit up on the nomination board. It’s a gem of a read. Characters that stay long after the last page. 🥳👏🏻🎉😻

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. 😂

Just finished this. I’ve lived every moment of Ellen Sheehan’s life and loved the journey. A brilliant read from @roisinm.bsky.social - In fact I think it might be my favourite so far!
