A bitter wind rocks the car as I pull up alongside the Ballyronan Road. Four or five cars sit outside the Mace, with people darting in and out, grateful for the face mask taking the brunt of the breeze.
Johnny Fox's bar sits invitingly beside the shop. An afternoon in there would take the edge off the weather, and probably the ever-lurking sense of Covid dread as well.
Cars come and go from the Village Fuel Depot across the road, where an attendant moves in and out servicing those in need of a refill.
