Dara McAnulty @naturalistdara.bsky.social · 25/09/2023I will truly miss the depth, contours and ever changing landscape of Co Down when I return to horizontal Cambridge this week. It’s always so hard to leave but 2nd year student life awaits after crossing the sea on the Stena Line & the long drive to Queens’ College. Bittersweet yet very exciting 🌿 3864
