ON THE EDGE OF SAHARA 2

Scene at Fort Bou-Jerif, ruins of a French Foreign Legion stronghold (left) where nasty things were done to Berbers and lots of wine was drunk by the officers.

About Me

Ciaran O'Driscoll: See www.ciaranodriscoll.com Poet and memoirist, with a first novel no longer skulking somewhere in publishers' piles, but actually now available in print and on Kindle, published April 2012 and called A Year's Midnight, after the first line of a poem by John Donne: ''Tis the year's midnight and it is the day's'. Lines from poems come into my head with a sense of enchantment. I also like skulking. As Carrie said in Four Weddings and a Funeral, If it comes to skulking, I can skulk with the best of them. I am getting to like gardening (aaargh!) Other likes are traditional Irish music, opera, and watching rugby, especially the Munster team. I also like getting away. A lot of my likes are retrospective, i.e. I was uncomfortable doing something or being somewhere, but recollecting in tranquillity, it was great and I even wrote a poem about it.
