A daughter is very happy, on visiting Oxford, to find my book in Blackwell's. It would make a great Christmas present everyone! 'BBC Women Reporting the World: Conversations with Foreign Correspondents'.

Thanks @ciaranon.bsky.social - it was such an honour to write this with Carole and Roisin, two scholars and friends I’ve learned so much from. Thanks to @irishhistsoc.bsky.social, in particular @elainefarrell.bsky.social & @clodaghtait.bsky.social

First year selling my art at Christmas without the Other site, where most of my sales came from, as well as losing US orders to new tariffs, so it'll be a tough one - I put huge work into every order, so even if you can't buy, shares help get them in front of eyes.

Just finished @mcculld.bsky.social β€˜s From Crown to Harp. Definitely, in my opinion, the Irish history book of the year.

George Gilmore to Sighle Humphreys, 28 Mar 1984:
β€˜β€¦ as for what β€˜we’ were fighting for – no two people, I am sure, had exactly the same view of life.

… Sorry for all this rambling. I am really very ill and want only quietness. Glad to hear that you are still a little bit alive’.

I know I am manifesting Scrooge or Oliver Cromwell aka 1647 but seriously it is not Christmas as I think I have heard at least three people proclaim today. It is the 22 November!!

This Boy’s Heart is particularly wonderful. It is so evocative - and real - the brutality of some teachers stayed with me after reading it.
