BATTLING THE WIND SPIRIT OF THE EAST
It’s 6:30 am, July 1st 2017, and we’re off to Tramore, Co. Waterford to trade at their summer Promenade Festival once again. It’s a treat to return to the pretty little seaside town of Tramore; we have very fond memories of the previous year’s trip when the sun, the food and the people were all as sweet as pie. Unfortunately, this time round it doesn’t start off quite so good. I tend to get rather horrific hayfever each year, the kind with such explosive sneezes it seems my body’s trying to blast my brain out of my nose; the kind with such irritated, swollen eyes some mornings I can wake up looking like I spent all night in a sparring session with Mike Tyson – which he clearly won. It ain’t pretty.
