Then myself & the hotel cat, Lady, hung out in the drawing room for a while - they light the fires early at Gregan’s Castle!

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

Bring an angry young man was clearly lucrative if John Osbourne’s former home is anything to go be - now an @arvonfoundation.bsky.social writing retreat

Really enjoyed the first @forthwrite.bsky.social festival (and my first trip to Crawley!). @kitdewaal.bsky.social kicked things off with an insightful, relatable & funny keynote address

I love books’ events - from the huddles of conversations to the books on sale - with the possibility of having the authors sign them forthwrite.bsky.social

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

Missing the blue skies of #Lahinch this week but they’ve been replaced with misty #Sligo webs

Lahinch hiding its blue skies this morning, always the same on the day I leave, it doesn’t want me to go away missing the sun

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

There mightn’t be any leaves on the branches yet but the sky is blue, the birds are chorus-ing & the daffodils are out - nobody can tell me it’s not spring for another month

I thought it was February 1st until I was 30. Then I moved to England & they laughed at me

Is February 1st the first day of spring? I've finally settled the question www.irishtimes.com/life-style/2...
irishtimes.com
When is the start of spring? This contentious question might be what truly divides the Irish and English
Irish primary schoolchildren have been taught for generation that spring begins on February 1st

Although further down the Southbank it’s definitely London (as opposed to Venice) again..

Looking at all the photos in Ireland of deserted streets, here in London there’s apparently a tornado coming…
