Amuse Bouche

All children love treats and ours were cones and wafer bought in Titteridge’s, Doneraile’s ice-cream parlour. Miss O’Connell sold sweets and this was where we indulged our sweet tooths. In most cases though, life’s little extra pleasures came from jam on well-buttered fresh bread or drinks of cool milk on a hot summer’s day.

My father was a caring soul. He made and left sandwiches on the windowsill when we were out playing. We would come and graze on these as we wished.
