There was once a young man who wished to gain his Heart’s Desire.
And while that is, as beginnings go, not entirely novel (for every tale about every young man there ever was or will could start in a similar manner) there was much about this young man and what happened to him that was unusual although even he never knew the whole of it.

When Tristran Thorn heads off into Faerie to find a star he has no idea of what is about to happen. All he cares is that the beautiful Victoria has promised that she will grant whatever he wishes if he brings the star that she saw fall.

How was everyone’s Easter? Plenty of eggs and face-stuffing no doubt. I headed up to Sligo on Thurs, hence the non-postage.

Then on Friday I headed to Galway as the brother had a rugby match. U18 quarter-final replay against Galwegians. They lost. But it could easily be blamed on the ref who played well over ten minutes of injury time and Galwegians scored their winning try in the final minute. But thats the way rugby works when the ref is from Galway
