A Darker Shade of Magic
Being in Cork I bought a large number of books. I found a bookstore where my beloved classics were sold for 3 – 4 € and, of course, I couldn’t help it. One of the many afternoons that I spent immersed in the great bookshelves of the bookstore I found three books that caught my ...

From Light and Darkness
Last weekend we made a day trip to Killarney with the intention of visiting the Natural Park, or at least as much of it as we could considering the public transport strike. For this reason we had to walk around the city to get to the entrance of the Park, and in that small walk ...
