Last weekend saw the inaugural Louis MacNeice festival in Carrickfergus. I managed to pop down to the festival launch on Saturday. It was good to catch up with friends there and hear the plans for this first festival. It's great that a group of people had the vision to plan this festival and I'm sure it will go from strength to strength. Also good to see some of the museum's MacNeice artefacts on display, including a selection of family letters.
During the week I managed to acquire a few more books in that same town. I'm looking forward to starting to read the short story collection by Seamus O'Kelly this week - it seems a fitting choice in this Irish Book Week.
But first I need to finish reading something in the current pile.....
