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

CΓΊirt literature festival at 40: β€˜There is a sense of an Irish writing culture exploding around the world’ When I was an impoverished student sustained by Pot Noodles, the CΓΊirt International Festival of Literature introduced me to literature I would not have encountered otherwise

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...

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

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
