- Hi John,
I know you sent a note to me part of which read "tell me about Bobby Sands." I can't seem to find it now. Haven't found my way round the website yet.
Wasn't sure if you meant that as in you agreed with what I said about him, you wanted me to say more about him or just what. Sorry, I think too much :)
Can't remember if I mentioned that I read his poem "Dear Mum" at my mother's funeral in November. It was perfect for the occasion in so many ways. Sad to say, my self-involved and out of touch steps didn't even realize who Bobby Sands was.
Anyway, please do drop me another line and I shall strive to do better next time!
Slán,
Carla

Cheers
