Just saw the grange stone circle in Limerick in the way home from Kerry - extraordinary place. More than 110 stones and 60m in diameter

I was lucky enough to live in Anglesey for 3 years when completing my PhD at Bangor. So many wonderful sites. Din Lligwy was another favourite - and the glorious church associated with St Patrick on the east coast. Oh and a Sheena na gig at Penmon Abbey and holy well. Bet you’ve seen them all!

Enjoy a very well earned break Marc

The first review of my latest #poetry collection, 'Where All Ladders Start' (2024, Alba Publishing) is now online, with thanks to @billymills.bsky.social for his close reading and thoughtful assessment of my work.

Ah! Sniffs of vested interest to me, given his quoted current interests

I am confused by his reasoning. In what way is clogging the roads with self drives producing emissions better than creating mass underground transport?

Thanks For sharing. One of my favourites

The girls asked me to say hello, John. Still down here on Achill and the sun is still shining along to your mellow tunes. Nessa

Soak it up, Roisin. I’m feeling similarly about Achill right now. Great to be alive
