First snow

A single raven
hanging black on a grey gale.
Emblem of Winter.

Okay there are at least two, and they could well be gulls but winter has rushed in and there was snow on the Caha mountains. Jolly cold too, in fact we're in for a cold snap and the winter cover has finally been put on the bed.
I went in to Bantry with Himself today in search of some cyclamen. The market holders were cheery and well wrapped up but I didn't envy them for it was all going on weatherwise. The crib is in the square, the lights are going up and I bought some Christmas cards. And Himself bought a poinsettia.  Tis the season.
