wrong

 The distance from Enniskerry to Bray is not great, it is only roughly five kilometres. An easy walk of one and a quarter hours, and it is a lovely day. 

The roads are too narrow for the big cars driven in modern times, and again, there are no footpaths. Sometimes he drivers give a friendly signal to those who get out of their way, but more often they do not. Such is the way of things.

After crossing the motorway on the new bridge, walk down the road to the Peoples Park. It all looks very pleasant,

Telephone to the friend and arrange a meeting.


Meet in front of the Royal Hotel, both wear masks out of politeness. The friend complains of the cold, and he has a fear of the covid infection.

But as soon as he enters the café he takes of his mask.


This is all wrong somehow.
