Hi Lucinda, great article with wonderful humor. I've heard about the Listowel Matchmaking Festival, but as yet haven't gone. Maybe will next year! 😅 I live on West Coast of Ireland. I can identify with feeling ambiguous. Both my birth parents are from West of Ireland but I was born in Midlands, growing up in Dublin and emigrating to UK for a long time. Returning to Ireland wasn't at all easy. Currently I live here and written story about Wild Atlantic Way and plan to write lots more about the history and culture in Ireland. Could I be accepted into your publication? My username is @deirdrewriterintheabyss
