He's in a race against time to share his story before the plug falls out for good.My Father Takes a Vacationby Martin Johnson (RTÉ Radio 1, Documentaries On One, 2008)A few years after Martin Johnson's mother died, his father left he and his two siblings in their native Sweden to go cycling around the coast of Ireland.
