November
by Thomas Hood
No sun — no moon!
No morn — no noon —
No dawn — no dusk — no proper time of day.
No warmth, no cheerfulness, no healthful ease,
No comfortable feel in any member —
No shade, no shine, no butterflies, no bees,
No fruits, no flowers, no leaves, no birds! —
November!

Where did you get that hat?
Despite, or perhaps because of, a number of fallen trees we had a great adventure walking from Benburb Priory along the Blackwater and what remains of the Ulster Canal to Milltown. 5.5Km in great scenery and a perfect day for it. Afterwards a number of us went to Ardress where we walked the Lady's Mile, a beautiful scenic loop of 1.9Km past snowdrops and historic woodland so we got great value for our mile.
