Thank you to my wonderful agent Ger Nichol. And to all the amazing team at Aria, especially Jade Craddock, Sue Lamprell, Melanie Price, Nikky Ward and Caroline Ridding.
To all those who swim in the sea at the Forty Foot and all the other bathing places around Ireland. Those with the towels under their arms or in their dressing gowns, the indefatigable, the hardy and the brave, those who bob in the waves in all swells and weathers, thank you for reminding me that adventures can be daily occurrences.
To Sadhbh, my brilliant trailblazing sister.
And as always to my own daily adventure, Ruby.
