Just met the chair of the East Belfast @greenpartyni for a coffee and a chat.
Lovely guy, lovely party! Looking forward to getting involved in some small way đ
Heading west today to a bake sale for #Palestine
I should have been walking 5 minutes down the road and staying east, but bigots threatened people selling cakes to raise money for wee kids so they had to relocate.
This Peacock butterfly was unimpressed by the recent change in the weather.

The place I learn Irish has just launched its classes for the year.
(always a stressful time, because we help look after the website and it can get surprisingly busy!)
Based in East Belfast, but they also have online courses for all levels.

From the 6th-13th June there is a festival celebrating Samuel Bryson, an East Belfast doctor (of Bryson street fame) who was heavily involved in the Irish language over 200 years ago.
Thereâs gonna be talks, walks, tours, and craic.
