Julie Jay: Four bathrooms, two small boys, and an inflatable bath — what could possibly go wrong?
Julie Jay: "The truth is, I’m here more often to do bathtime, and as a result, can spot the signs that the ship is about to go down."
The house we are renting in Dingle has four bathrooms, which I’m sure instantly conjures up in your mind a palatial-sized Georgian mansion — the kind of house that plasters over its somewhat problematic history by hosting festivals in the summer where people can pay €10 for a crepe and pretend they’re having a great time.
In fact, the house is very modest in size, a perfectly ordinary cottage, so at least two of these bathrooms are superfluous to requirements. Most days we have more loos than people, which is definitely one loo too many.
