This is a collection of stories / memories that I started writing in recent years as I approached work retirement. The working title refers to a period in 1975, when at age twenty, I spent two months on my own on Inisheer, Aran Islands. My daily walks around the island always brought me along the eastern rocky shore, and past the Plassey shipwreck — a monument to drift and rescue.
My regular impressions of that period — which are recalled in this book — have, for almost fifty years, served as both a counter to life’s difficulties and as a constant reminder of its positives, and challenges.
I hope to publish Walking Past The Plassey in 2025.
