The Christmas Market inside Tullynally Castle looks like an epic Caravaggio Painting.

Saw this book in a coffee shop, picked it up and couldn’t put it down.
I recall Ian Charleson from the film Chariots of Fire, but beyond that knew little about him.
It’s a collection of tributes from people who knew him; he was very much loved.
Sadly he died of Aids in 1990.

I called them the Chestnut Twins; they’ve been in the same spot since they were saplings.
Today, one twin will lose her sibling forever more.
A sad day.
