Some of the country
On Rich’s & my first trip inspecting a hospital. Damned near froze to death.
There is a lovely village about 1,000 feet down at the right on the sea
1.
Our last bike ride along the Lagan. We crossed the canal here and went out into the country, riding around to cut into the canal higher up.
2.
As we approached the canal we came upon a tumbledown thatched cottage. Out of it came an old lady who works in a linen mill nearby. She lives
3.
alone there with her brother who drinks—bad cess to him—and wastes his money on the horses and dogs—bad cess to them—and will not re-thatch the roof. Weeds are growing in
4.
the thatch and a cat sleeps there in the warm sun when there is a sun. You can see the sag in the board over the door. She walks down the hill for her water.
5.
This is the flax mill where the old lady works. The barges you can see carry about 80 tons of coal & are pulled by a single horse about 12 miles a day
6.
Here is Charlie May standing near the bridge you saw in the background of #5.
7.
This is looking at the bottom gate of a lock from downstream. The boats you saw in 5 just fit.
8.
This is an empty lock with a rather leaky upper gate. There is a sluice in the bottom of each gat that can be raised by a crank to regulate the height of the water.
9.
The swan is a protected bird & lives along the rivers & canals. The young look like a goose for a year or two before they turn from gray to white.

About mid-Nov 1942
The same day the Orangefield group of 8 was taken.

Lived at another hospital at Orangefield.
They proved to be a very alert group.

Were taken looking across Carlingford Loch to Eire. We were enveloped in clouds several times and snapped our pictures as we could
7.
We came straight down through the grouse in the left foreground to the road & then back to Rostrevor for tea.
8.
This is where the original 7 spent their 1st 2 1/2 months in N.I.—The upper lefthand corner room. We slept on straw.
Dear Nancy
Here is your old Poppie in front of a white white house in Hannah’s Town. The Irish make these funny roofs out of straw just a like a bird building a nest. It is called thatch, and the roof is called a thatched roof.
Did you see a picture of an old woman in front of an old house with a tumble-down thatched roof in the movies at Mrs. May’s House?
