Denis Lehane: Holiday tales from man and beast

I must be the only man in the parish who hasn’t gone on holidays this summer.

It’s been mad entirely, with the amount of people heading here and there, and many now telling me of the wonderful time they had in France, or waffling on about the sites they saw in Costa del someplace or other.

Anyhow, regardless of where you have been this summer, I’ll bet none had a better summer break than a weanling bull of mine who spent two weeks over on the farm of my neighbour Joe.
