I took the kids to Bray today - at least a small part of the reason being so I could see the famous crop circles. I had wondered if it was actually real or a social media invention designed to draw outrage from sceptics like myself but no, there they were - these utterly impotent white circles potmarking the neat green in front of the sea as if, ironically, it was suffering from some kind of plague. Thankfully, the pointless little pods were deserted - visitors and locals giving them the kind of wide berth you’d afford a chalk outline at a murder scene. My kids briefly bucked the trend and used them as running circles, chasing each other around the diameter until someone got caught but we moved on quickly. It just didn’t feel like a place in which to have fun - like playing tag in a cemetery.
