SUBSCRIBEThroughout my life I had always loved spending time in nature whenever the opportunity presented itself. In the area where I lived most as a child — Rathmines in Dublin — there seemed to be no shortage of the old ruined mansions and grounds of a departed gentry. They were essentially pieces of waste ground, but retained what had by then become incongruously regal sounding names like “Lady Longford’s”.
Filled with broken sculptures, exotic trees, and bamboo plantations gone wild, they were the favoured and most constant playgrounds of myself and friends for years; places free of any adult supervision where there were no limits to our imagination.
