Hiya! Fáilte chuig mo Bhlog!! Welcome to my Blog! For ages I've avoided writing a "Blog" - even the use of the word was anathema to me -it sounds so unlyrical, ugly, even - and so I (perhaps foolishly, perhaps, snobbishly) resisted until, finally, I realised it was akin to holding out, Canute-like, against the use of the word "cool" or the wearing of hugely baggy trousers by young people...And so, here I am, contrite, humbled, writing on my Blog page. Oh, how the mighty have fallen...

We've had a lovely September, hardly any (if any - can't remember!) rain and lots of heat (for us!!) and sunny days (daze, after that "Summer"!) and the low light of this time of year is really special.
This morning, I went out up the hill in a light misting which dried out and the sun came out. It was gorgeous. I walked along rough trails in a forestry area, cleared two years ago, so, covered with flowers and full of bird song.
Bog pools wink and twitch,
rippling ringed convulsions,
flies in their brown eyes.
From behind the trees,
metallic, megaphone voice:
raven's muzzein call.
Bright-eyed, noisy wren
scoots through the newly-bared hedge,
morning quarreller.
