Obviously this song title had me fooled fo a very long time. The Mystic River is an estuarine river that runs parallel to the Charles River off Boston Harbour. It is also a river and historic seaport in Southeastern Connecticut. As I have, while taking sailing lessons in Boston, sailed "into the Mystic" under the Mystic River Bridge. So whatever the intended meaning of the song is, it will always be connected to my years in Boston, MA.
Thank you Laura! Into the Mystic is one of my all time favorites. Looking forward to receiving your book. Any possible chance of your being in the US to promote the book?? Would love to meet you and get my copy autographed. Hope you have a great weekend.
Gorgeous extract - I love the songs that weave their ways in to our journeys too… and as I sit here in 40 degree heat melting, it also made me a little homesick for the soggy, foggy Irish weather! X
I'm looking forward my copy arriving . I smiled at the farmer's comment 'fecking fog'! And now listening to Johnny Flynn, thank you for the music links 😀
I also loved the photo at the top of the post: it's inspired me to dig out my camera for our upcoming trip to the Lake District (which can also be very misty).

Oh, I love that there’s a whole other meaning to ‘into the mystic’ 🤍
Into The Mystic will be my wedding song! I love it. These Are The Days, my design studio, is named after the Van Morrison track of the same name.
Excited to read your book after seeing all these little extracts 👀
Ooh, I love that! Such a romantic choice. 🤍 Thank you Sarah.

It’s such a wonderful song! 🎶 No current plans for US publication but you’ll hear it here first if that changes!
Love when the soundtracks of our lives evolve in meaning as we grow. This was beautiful!
Thank you so much, Victoria 🎶

I’m in Italy at the moment and I feel exactly the same about my local woods (which, the forecast tells me, were foggy this morning!) ☁️🍃
Thank you for sharing, looking forward to reading your book which I’m sure will transport me back to my homeland of North Wales.
Love the playlist! Good luck with the book tour!
Thank you so much, Lucy! 🎶
Loved reading this, thank you for sharing. Really enjoyed the music connection too.
Thank you, Jo! 🎶

Ahh, Johnny Flynn is so good 🎶 Thank you Jude.
A beautiful extract from your book: thank you for sharing! I felt transported to the Wild Atlantic Way from the comfort of my chair 🥰
I love that! Thank you Holly!

Ooh yes! Fingers crossed for mist. It’s almost the season… ☁️
