Tric Kearney: Unfortunately, my dark, almost black photos, bore no resemblance to the beautiful morning I’d witnessed

LAST weekend, yer man and I took a night off parenting and headed to West Cork. As we raced out the drive, the sun shone and unbelievably continued to do so for the two days.

We were staying in a friend’s apartment, almost on the beach. It’s been recently done up and has all I want in my house. I showed it off to yer man, wowing at everything, from the fancy kettle and matching toaster, to the giant flatscreen TV. My wowing became a high-pitched shriek as we moved to the bathrooms.
