Friends, later today on @BBCRadio4 at 3:45pm — a new story I wrote read by Blue Lights actor Andrea Irvine. It was commissioned to mark the 30th anniversary of the Prov. IRA’s announcement of a cessation of military operations in Northern Ireland. (So grateful, @andrea_irv)

Thanks to Frank Liddy for popping in to @HeaneyCentre and picking up a copy of We Play Here. Loved reading his own memories of North Belfast as a kid.

@mollytwomey1 I took a wing mirror off two separate cars in the same street on my first test! Second time is 💯 more chilled.
