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

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

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

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…

Can’t recommend these two highly enough

Shame about the storm interfering with #AVeryCroydonChristmas this weekend but we managed a turn around the light installations in the gardens after the carols in Braithwaite Hall - a great festive start #AndTheyreOff #DeckTheHalls

Delighted to get home & find this waiting for me - beautiful book by @grindrod.bsky.social, nostalgic & funny & poignant & heartwarming all at once. Made flying through the mother of all storms worth it

Every year Dickens reminds me not to be a Scrooge at Christmas - and this seems like a very good cause donate.biggive.org/donate/a0569...

I pretty much had Lahinch beach to myself at lunchtime & you can see why - invigorating stuff though!

The most glorious sunrise of my Irish trip this morning - Lahinch, one of my favourite places in the world... #WildAtlanticWay

Galway is putting on a moodier sunset than Sligo! Though loving the twinkling lights on Lough Atalia. I miss Galway, good to be back

Glorious sunrise in Sligo this morning but looks like the shepherds were right to warn us about such things - lashing rain now on the way to Galway lol
