"Banishing her terrifying memory of a seagull stealing a Big Mac from her hand on O'Connell Street, Chloë McPolin dons some Barbour and heads west for falconry and the aristocratic life... Hobby comrades, I believe I've officially "come up" in the world. As you know, I have an insatiable urge to behave and dress as though I belong to the landed gentry. Naturally, this includes picking up a hobby that lets me hobnob with the rich and famous."
"Hobby comrades, I believe I've officially "come up" in the world. As you know, I have an insatiable urge to behave and dress as though I belong to the landed gentry. In my quest, I have decided, why not position myself among those I want to emulate - a bit like manifestation, if you will? I even bought a Barbour last year, just to get to grips with what it's like to be intensely wealthy. Champagne lifestyle on a lemonade budget, you could say."
A woman banishes a terrifying memory of a seagull stealing a Big Mac on O'Connell Street and dons a Barbour jacket to travel west for falconry and an aristocratic experience. She declares that she has 'come up' socially, expresses an urge to behave and dress like the landed gentry, and seeks hobbies that enable hobnobbing with the rich and famous. She frames the effort as a form of manifestation, notes buying a Barbour to approximate wealth, and jokes about living a champagne lifestyle on a lemonade budget.
