Had a really great time at the @writingandideas at @borrishouse. It’s such a lovely festival in the grounds of a castle in the beautiful countryside of County Carlow, near Dublin. Just 3000 audience members across a bunch of tents and my fellow speakers included Laurie Anderson, Jeremy Irons, Ruth Wilson, Sarah Waters and, as you can see, Colin Greenwood and Nick Broomfield. And many others! It was really quite a line-up. In the second pic I’m being interviewed about Noel Edmonds by Grant from ITN.
