I sat in the grass for a while and looked out at the sea and the curvature of the earth shimmering in the distance. It seems inconceivable that there is no land between Ireland and America. It seems inconceivable that I ever cycled around Elephant and Castle roundabout at rush hour, or subsisted for weeks at a time on instant coffee and cereal. Sometimes, in order to move forward, you have to go to the edges. 7 There was a music festival in the summertime and an old lorry was parked in the fishing port with the sides taken off.
