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

Looking forward to it - nice treat when I get back home at Easter

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

I can see he would have irked them by being self taught

The Singing Butler is one of my favourite prints - this one is lovely too, beautiful tribute

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

A word that could strike horror into you if you lived in rural Ireland, the back breaking work, the peeling shoulders after hours in the sun in the ‘pre-sunscreen’ days

Great show this morning - loved it. Well worth a listen back

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

Are you making your notes on paper or in some digital wizardry device?

Yes, but with less head scratching, its vague points are slightly easier to discern than Kane's

Bernadette Fallon @bernibee.bsky.social · 02/02/2025
I quite liked it - though still trying to get my head round its massive sprawl over an hour after leaving the cinema. It’s def not about architecture. But what is it about…

The best thing about Irish weather! If you don’t like it, just wait for 10 minutes

All we can know, being Irish, is… today is the first day of spring!
