Book #16 of 2024: “The Celtic Twilight” by WB Yeats

This had a few poems but was mostly stories about the Sidhe collected from Irish people across the country. I‘ll come back to it again later when I have time to do some more research into the people, places, and legends referenced. And, maybe, take a trip to all the places Yeats identifies as doors to the dim world.

I enjoyed reading the accounts that Yeats has collected from his fellow irishmen. I have always been fascinated by the far and reading these accounts was enlightening.

Planning to start this today:) it‘s a lovely cold and wet day, just perfect for reading and drinking hot tea and coffee.

Went to the Coney Island Mermaid Parade yesterday!! Here‘s me doing a hobby of mine - dressing and swimming as a mermaid!

We couldn‘t go in the water because of the lightning (see top left) but we got to get photos on the beach!
