A slice of a life as Michael Timmins captures so beautifully and his sister conveys so well. Uncovering the poignancy and magic hidden in the mundane. Milk is too expensive, the sun doesn't shine, and in spite of her rationalisations she doesn't love her husband anymore. But every other weekend she gets to call her horse to her, and ride away, and dream about never turning back.
