Thank you, Fair Faa Ye for the chance to tell this beautifully dark tale! I don't do it alone, though; I'm so very grateful to a wonderful composer and a super film maker (neither of whom are on social media!) who've been a delight to work with 😊 #LeidWeek #UlsterScots

Today another significant step in Ulster-Scots writing. The range of writing is widening, and the talent pool is deepening, not least because of the efforts of these writers. See Fair Faa Ye, & tomorrow Robert Campbell (The Bog Myrtle) 🦀🛢️'s 'dander through Narnia' Guildhall Derry 6pm #LeidWeek

No better time than Leid Week to join Mid & East Antrim Mayor Alderman Geraldine Mulvenna, the hard working folk from Ulster-Scots Community Network and my fellow scrievers for the official launch of Yarns 3! A truly lovely event to welcome this beautiful anthology! #LeidWeek #UlsterScots

You made us so welcome and created a wonderful forum where we could share our work at The Linen Hall - thank you so much! #leidweek #UlsterScots

What a grand day of readings! May I join my fellow scrievers in thanking you for drawing all of this together, Al Millar and for the warm welcome we received from Patsy and all at The Linen Hall 😊 #LeidWeek #UlsterScots
