I think people in Ireland would love it.

But you have had maybe some trouble getting people in the UK to kind of be as engaged with it.

Just in the whole Lock and A thing.

I mean, you travel an awful lot.

As you say, you're lucky enough to get these residencies.

But Northern Ireland is so special to you and Belfast.

And you'll always probably stay there, will you?

Let's see if he catches me.

I love to run very fast.

Jan Carson, amazing book, Few and Far Between.

I think it's your best yet.

And I've loved your other books as well.

But it's really, really worth the read.

And even if you're not interested in ecology or the Loch Ness or algae, it is full of populated with these amazing characters and fascinating, interesting.

These dark islands are just amazing as well.

So thank you so much for talking to us.

Thank you.

That's all we have time for.
