Dear Readers, Yesterday, I lied to three hundred children and a dozen grown-ups. I told them that I’d walked and swum for five days to get from the house I grew up in in Cork to the school we were assembled in in Essex. Four hundred and fifty-nine miles over five days. Backstroked across the Irish Sea between somewhere in Louth and somewhere in Wales. Quite a trip. I had a map and everything.
