We all have a 'Summer Bagatelle' moment – here's mine #WordSmith
Did you get a secret Valentine's Card this year?
I didn't, but in this weeks #WordSmith column I write about the only anonymous Valentine I ever received.
I’ve only ever received one Valentine’s Card in my life – in my #WordSmith column in tomorrow's The Anglo Celt, I tell you the story of a lucky escape…😩

EXPLORING MY IRISHNESS IN ENGLAND – "...it was something else about my Irishness that threatened to get me into serious trouble; for it compelled me to do something bad, and as a fateful weekend approached, I forced myself to do a heinous thing."
Tomorrow's #WordSmith column...
Following on from last week's #WordSmith column wherein I wrote about being Irish with an English accent; here's another with a focus on the Anglo/Irish experience – who remembers the summer boat journey from England to Ireland to spend school holidays with our Irish relatives?
