Shower yourself with treats

THE post-holiday period has to be one of the worst times of the year. The two weeks of bliss are over, work begins again.

I’m just back from a fortnight in West Cork where I pretty much ate my own body weight in crab salads, fish and chips, and artisan cheeses.

There were no blue skies or warm sparkling waters, so I consoled myself with mind-blowing scenery and exceptional lunches.
