Well, here I am… back in Open Diary again. I first started with OD long ago, back in 2000. I was in it for a long time. Then when it came here, to this iteration, I was in for a short time. Since that time I became a “real” writer. I have two published books…

Monday, 30th May 2016 Dearest Friend, I read James’s letter from the 13th on the bus back to Galway yesterday; it was a very emotional read for me!
