Rolling Sun Book Festival and Sally Rooney
Last month from the 16th to the 19th November The Rolling Sun Book Festival took place in Westport, County Mayo. It is named the Rolling Sun Festival because of the link that the winter sun and the ancient spiritual mountain Croagh Patrick have in common. The festival is a quirky boutique festival that indulges bookworms and connoisseurs of music, song and poetry.

The Summer may now be over and the kids gone back to school but we still have a whole heap of stuff to look forward to...
