Had an absolutely wonderful weekend at @SpikeLitFest! Thank you to everyone involved. And I remembered to say ‘I give no one or nothing permission to follow me’ when coming off the island…

A most enjoyable event and day at the Spike literary Festival - I only wish I could have made every talk! Looking forward to next year already #Cork #Cobh #WritingCommmunity

Thank you to @titanic_bar for the most fantastic evening. Gorgeous food in a stunning location. Hospitality at its finest ❤️😋

@imranmahmood777 There are so many great festivals and far too little time to visit them all. Who knows, maybe I'll be lucky and get to experience @SpikeLitFest next year too🤞🤞

I really enjoyed this. What a wonderful festival - the hospitality shown to us by everyone involved was second to none. And the setting is completely unique. If anyone ever has the chance - you should definitely take it 👍🏼💥💥💥👍🏼
