Grateful for the chance to take part in the small bit of Irish democracy open to me as a graduate emigrant.

Watching the #newgrangesolstice live stream while on the road to Wales, heading home for Christmas. Moving and beautiful, even under the bright lights of the motorway services

And that’s a wrap on the #latelatetoyshow for 2024. The 11 year-old is still going strong, the rest of us are definitely past our bedtimes!
