Denis Lehane: I’m dreaming of a fine summer

I spent a major part of last week on my knees praying for good weather. 

With the First Holy Communion scheduled for Saturday last, and with our own lovely daughter Sarah one of the candidates, the pressure was really on.

And knowing full well, like Danny Healy-Rae, that it’s “God above” who is in charge of the weather, should you have called to my farm, on my knees is where you would have found me.
