So Inchydoney is a beach (and hotel) in County Cork, in the South of Ireland. There are two beaches, with a rocky bit of land jutting out in the middle. The hotel is in the middle. So, no matter where you are, you have wonderful seaviews. At all times of the day. The light was amazing. It's also the only thalassotherapy centre in Ireland. We were lucky to spend a few days there just before the pandemic hit Ireland, at the end of February. We had heard of the situation in China and Italy of course, but it felt so far away. We enjoyed our mini-break, with no thought of social distancing, cough etiquette or cocooning - these things were not even in our vocabulary then. But I will always remember listening to the radio on the drive back home, and it really sank in then. There was reports of a person from Northern Ireland, who had travelled back from Italy via Dublin airport. And the first case in the Republic of Ireland was announced just a day or two later.
