I guess Bunty was my equivalent back in the day. I loved the Cut Out Wardrobe. Here’s some inspo for Hunting Nazi Gold. A fabulous selection of rain macs.

While on holiday in Biarritz this time last year, I unwittingly took a photo in a bookshop of a book about the Mitford sisters. Q’uelle horreur!! @guywalters.bsky.social

I did my first Speakeasy last night in Phil Grimes pub, Waterford. I surprised myself as I wasn’t nervous and really enjoyed it!

I was so thrilled to have my poem, End User, selected by @spillwordspress.bsky.social for a special feature, Blast From the Past, in their March Monthly Newsletter. It was originally published by them in February 2017. It was inspired by the James Bond Theme Songs.

For #WorldPoetryDay it has to be Ballybricken Hill. About one of my favourite places in #Waterford City. And so dear to my heart. My late Aunty Mary lived in Chapel Lane and St Martins Avenue. I lived in a flat on The Mayors Walk when I was a student.
