Fondest memories of our trip from Donnybrook to Bellaghy for Semus Heaney's funeral. Me driving, you in the back, Seamus Cashman in front. Twelve hours going north and back again. So easy together.
What a beautiful soul.

And Heaney rhymes now with Sweeney astray,
Up a tree
'In the local branch of Heaven'
