In Dublin, I was bowling around in the sun, bumping a case behind me, and looking at the city through a different lens. There for work, I stayed on and found myself as a tourist in a city I had lived in for decades.

In my version of ‘Country Mouse Goes to the Big Smoke’ I crisscrossed the city, including taking the dart to Dun Laoghaire, and the Luas to Cowper, and tramped the streets people-watching in the way you might if you went to Paris or London.
