Happy New Year!
Happy New Year everyone and I hope it brings you joy and health. For ourselves, another year like last will be good and it has already started well. I was invited to be Ireland’s judge for the 2019 European Prize for Literature and this could be the year in which my new novel is completed. I certainly intend so.
And what better way to begin the year with a walk on the Curragh, just as Mr Weld’s string joined us for exercise; in front of the impressive new racecourse grandstand, which looks complete and ready for the first meeting in April. Can’t wait! We must be on an athlete’s programme, because we completed our walk as the string completed theirs and the second lot were coming out as we left!
Looking back on a great year, with lots of star horses, Masar and Kew Gardens among them, and many to look forward to, Quorto among those. I began the year at a punk festival, followed by a ska festival, followed by a literary festival in France, where Tony and I were treated as VIPs in Royan and had a wonderful time. Then another three punk festivals, another ska festival and another guest appearance at a literary festival, with superb race meetings such as the Curragh Classics, Irish Champions weekend and Royal Ascot in between. Not to mention a perfect jaunt to Bristol to see my three favourite bands on the one bill! Rounding off with my first-time stint as a magazine editor. Can’t be bad! Same again, please!
