This is the image that sums up my son Manus. He’s absolutely in love with doors – obsessed. He had these little yellow suits we put on him because he liked to bum-shuffle around. We call him space man. He’s in his own world and he’s happy. That’s the main ingredient.
I live on a farm in the west of Ireland, on my husband’s family homestead. We’ve always had horses so there’s a couple of little old stables. I’m guessing Manus is about six-and-a-half there; he’s coming up to 10 now, but I could repeat this image today. He still goes to this same spot and wants to play with the door to the washing machine.
