Reader Story: First September in Maynooth

I measured the town in morning walks—past the harbour, under the trees, and along the towpath where cyclists appear like clockwork.

By the second week, the bells marked my timetable better than any app.

It felt like starting a chapter with familiar margins: a café that already knows your order, a library card warm from your pocket.
