Summer / Break

In Summer 2018, Richie McCaffery and his long-term partner moved from Ghent, Belgium to Northumberland, settling a year later in the old market town of Alnwick. At first they were happy, adjusting to a part of the world they both knew well already. However, Covid and 'self-isolation' cast a shadow over their domestic contentment and in Summer 2021, McCaffery's partner left unexpectedly. This collection is the account of before, during and after a life-changing breakup.
