Glenshane A Go Go

The Easter driving was generally great, with sunbursts, fine scenery and fresh lambs a-leaping. Our tradition for holiday drives is that family members confer on a playlist or two, burnt especially for the occasion. And so we got an unexected bonus in Blur's 'Coffee And TV', plus 'Devotion' by the Lowly Knights, which creates a mood of freewheeling delight.

The song that worked best was 'Long May You Reign' by John Shelley And The Creatures. You may have heard snippets on the Tourist Board TV ad. Now we were reinventing that footage as we rumbled up the Glenshane Pass, loving the music, the season and the communal fun. Note to self: must pursue a bit of joy more often.
