The last time I saw my parents was at our family home in Galway in early March 2020, when we spoke absently about some virus in China and they again queried whether I’d had enough of London – would I not think of moving back to Ireland, maybe? Neither topic particularly troubled me. Back then, Covid somehow seemed so distant and Ireland so close. An hour or so by plane was all it took to be back with those belonging to me; I already visited frequently.
