We’re hearing Jon Moss has issued an apology to the Library Holm Oak

Seen two of these in person, reckon one more and I could feature in a Richard Powers novel.

I had to go to a building there for work many years ago and asked someone if Bel-voir was around.
“You’re not from round here are ya mate?”

Not that long since I learned Cregagh Road is pronounced Creggy
