☘️An Irish song from a stream☘️

Song for the birds

Too too sad about this 😢 The Trip to Jerusalem in Nottingham, oldest pub in England, is shut like all the other pubs and inns here.

Why does this matter you may ask? But to us English folk what is better than to sit in an old pub where your forefathers gathered and soak up the atmosphere with a pint of English ale? 🍻

The Trip is built into the caves at the foot of Nottingham Castle.

Contrary to the photos I took of the beautiful old ruins of Rufford abbey in Nottinghamshire, this story did not unfold directly at this location. 'Twas but a few miles south near the village of Bilsthorpe, where the wild gorse 💛✨ still grows, that it occured late one night back in 1850. Some "40 gallant poachers" walked from Mansfield to Rufford Park and the gamekeepers "came with flails against the poachers and their cause"

This is also very close to Edwinstowe where Robin Hood is meant to have married Marion and where they dwellt in the greenwood 🌳🌳🌳

I've been to the talk about this at the local library. Good stuff.

"on the fourteenth of May at the dawn of the day...." possibly one of the rudest folk songs hence not singing it all!

None

First of all I'm no pianist! 🎹 And this is not the kind of music I'd normally do

This song speaks to me now with the darkness and cold coming ❄️❄️❄️ But of course 'tis the first day of winter today!

"The icy winter is creeping near
Dark skies above us
Biting frost is in the air
Darkness surrounds us
The cold, piercing autumn breeze
Fills the longship sail
Soon the lakes and seas will freeze
And snow will lay its veil"

Inspired by this recording...
