So I walked as day was dawning;as small birds sang and leaves were falling, where we once watched the row boats landing on the Broad Majestic Shannon ❤️

Since Shane passed I haven’t been able to listen to any of his music or any sentimental music at all. But today this song that I’ve loved since childhood,once again, said it all for me Gilbert O'Sullivan - Nothing Rhymed (Official HD Music Video) - YouTube

Always remember my mother’s well-thumbed copy of ‘Country Girls’ in the 60s. A part of my childhood ever before I learned to read. The passing of an icon.
We are devastated to hear of the passing of Edna O'Brien. A true towering force of Irish literature – fearlessly committed to her art and an endless inspiration to us all.
@sunstroke_house
This is so absolutely typical. So glad it’s clarified. And great point Maiwenn makes about a female journalist only talking to her through the prism of men. Such an unworthy article.
