What makes me happy is preparing for my fifth European Peace Walk, a 500km walk through Hungary, Austria, Croatia, Slovenia and Italy. At the end of this I’ll be attending and talking at Bloomsday in Pula at the invitation of Bloomsday Croatia. I’m lucky that at 77 years of age I have the ability and the health to be able to do these things – Donal Corcoran, Ambassador for European Peace Walk. (via email)
