I loved reading this newsletter so much, Lisa! While my happy place is County Galway, which seems far from East Cork when over there, they don't seem so far apart from over here so the opportunity to hear the inimitable "crank in the basement" voice writing about both Ireland and some Lincoln here and there has been a real joy these past 12 weeks. Thanks for sharing your experiences.
Thank you! I am so glad you've been following along because you are uniquely positioned to get both the Ireland-love and the Lincolnania. And indeed, I get it about Ireland now, I really do.
that CAKE!!! the bread... oh yum... so happy for you, that you were able to go, and happy for you that you're back in Cambridge... as much as you'll miss Ballymaloe, I bet it will feel nice to be home! hope to see you soon-ish!!
OMG you are amazing....but Finishing the Hat?? You know that I am a total Sondheim fanatic and that Sunday in the Park is my favorite and Finishing the Hat..well, gosh, I have to take a minute. What a perfect metaphor. It has been such a pleasure to read your posts...thank you so much!
I think I knew about Sondheim (well, or am not at all surprised) but didn't know re: Sunday. It really is brilliant and has been in my head for the last couple of weeks.

Loved watching through the window as you finished the hat! 👒
