The place I feel safest is my home but that doesn’t mean I don’t like adventure. I do. And Songs of Change was an adventure as was Ghost Hares. I love the outdoors. Corkagh Park, all along the Grand Canal, out by the sea at Bray. I liked some of the exercises that asked us to remember the smells and tastes and textures of our lives. Tayto crisps. The sweet crunch of a toffee apple. The smell of pine. The smell of muck on my granny’s farm in Galway. The Forget-Me-Nots in the window boxes my father kept. The Peter & Jane books of my childhood. I look forward to the next adventure.
