Denis Lehane: My driving skills proved by a test

I had a mighty breakfast in Macroom last Tuesday. Sausages, rashers, pudding, eggs, onions, tomatoes, toast, you name it, my plate contained it. And all washed down with a piping hot mug of coffee.

I’m telling you, the Ritz of London wouldn’t serve up finer fare. A most welcome treat and most unexpected too, considering where I was, and what I was doing.

I was in Macroom getting my old Hilux road tested, and I was dining in style while my Hilux was going through its paces in another part of the building.
