Y wife and I share a car that can, apparently, reach a top speed of 130mph. 130mph! Given the twisty, narrow nature of the roads in west Cork, even 30mph could be considered reckless. Anyway, with each passing year, I find I drive more and more slowly. This has nothing to do with my increasing age and everything to do with my increasing auspicious for lovers… good heavens a hitchhiker will I stop for him he looks clean and sober I’ll stop.’
