FROM different points and perspectives, and at different times of the day and night, the views from Carrig Cottage are inclined to alter perceptions. One minute it’s pure Cork and the Lee Valley above the Angler’s Rest, the next moment it’s some more exotic location, perhaps Malibu, the Hollywood hills, or some tropical mountain range when the mists roll in.
