DARRAGH RAGES

Darragh is the fourth named storm of this season. The name derives directly from the Irish word for the sessile oak one of five sacred trees in our culture (the others being beech ash hazel and hawthorn).  Our language has but 19 letters and the Irish 'alphabet' is enunciated as a list of trees the concept descending from the runic ogham which predates Newgrange ...  Those familiar with the graeco-roman alphabet do not realise that Irish can synthesize a large range of consonents by the use of strategic dots and dashes.  Who would know that the word 'sean' (pronounced shann) means variously old, past it, worn out, decrepit all that and those and making it Sean does not change its hiatus.

December has been just one storm after another, Darragh swiped the east bu a few days later there was a three day wind event where the winds {and rain) were much worse in the Nene valley and although New Year is relatively quiet in the South East we have had a long period of reduced visibility down to dense fog even.
Te boats were moved to safe moorings at Weedon just after Xmas and due to holidays and holiday bus schedules it is expedient to satay at the flat for the time being and continue decluttering
