Kind sir, did you pen this poem? Chills!

It's not the greatest of poems, I know, but it's from the heart

Oh yes it is; it's the greatest of poems. I bet you're tempted to tell me to give it over! In all seriousness, well done, David!

Thanks Claire. There was a little competition held in Dublin a couple of years ago, to express what was so great about the city. The poem was my entry at the time.It didn't win a prize, but I like it.

HAving been raised in Bray Co Wicklow ; I have some understanding of how you feel about Dublin ; I live across the water in Lancashire and long to walk the promenade .

The book I wrote about my Grandmother ; is a testament to my feeling about the small Town taht I live din ; which grew out of all proportion during the Celtic Tiger years

I live in Greystones, Mary, so I've walked the promenade in Bray many times. Your book sounds like an invaluable resource into an important time in Irish social history. I hope it achieves the success it deserves.
