We are two years old today! On 23 July 2019 we very quietly opened our doors to the public - so quietly in fact that we took only €4 through the till. Happily these days we are a bit busier, apart from when we aren't open at all (thank you, Covid). Thank you ...>>

I had a great visit to @PresidentIRL Michael D. Higgins at Áras an Uachtaráin. I was invited to present my book @HitchingForHope and we chatted about everything from hitching, community, and human connection to Gaza, housing, activism, & hope for better days.
A gent & kind soul.
