If it was NOT for you and your work NONE of us would be here!! It's because of you and your work we needed to find a safe place to discuss your work. Thankfully, Peggy took the reins and started Shamrock & Stones. I can understand why some might think it's an extension of LOL because so many of us started there BUT we came here for a place to discuss your books and all things Irish. I do think it's important that those that participate here at S&S at least know why we are here and our main purpose. Not that it's a prerequisite that they read your books but it would sure be nice if they did and know where we are all coming from. One of my biggest regrets in life is not going to Ireland on the Shammie Shindig and seeing Northern Ireland through your eyes. I do believe you and I will one day have that chance together. I need to go to Ireland and I know by next year you'll be getting the itch to go back. (well, I know you already have the itch but it will be even itchier). -- Cindy's Cottage

I always have the itch for Ireland and especially for Belfast. I don't know about Derry, it's a dangerous place for me, I'd be scared Mickey was still roaming the streets. :) (NT) -- celtgirl, 19:04:58 10/08/09 Thu
Appears we're headed back (to Doolin, anyway) for October of 2011, after Larry retires. The session guys told Larry that was the best time to get in some serious music sessions without too many tourists around. Not sure if we'll make it up to N. Ireland, although L knows someone up in Co. Antrim who owns a pub and has asked him to visit, so who knows. Anyway, T. J. said he'd cut us a deal if we stayed in his cottage, which is very appealing. Of course, a lot can change between now and then, especially finances! (NT) -- E, 19:39:34 10/08/09 Thu
