DAMIEN ENRIGHT: Eye of newt and feast of frogspawn

MIRACLE of miracles, lovely weather this first week of our return from the Canarian sun and the sky-blue days of Seville, Leicestershire, and London.

It is bright here in West Cork, although unseasonable cold.

However, the north wind in the face as we walk across the big, empty strands is invigorating; and one can wrap up against the cold while there’s only so much one can strip off in order to stay cool in the heat.
