It’s come to my attention that this is the first year since I got back from working at An Tobar Nua that I have not found some reason to return. 
This makes me sad. I miss that place. It’s true, a part of my heart will always reside in that land of rain and the most gorgeous sunny days ever. I have the sudden urge to just up and go. Use the money I’ve saved for grad school and travel Ireland. Thankfully, the practical side of me kicks in well before I start looking at plane tickets.
I must be content with my box of Lyons tea, and looking at pictures. …sigh…
