is coming to a close. So we thought we would show our readers a photograph of a creature ringing in the change.

With all this good weather we've been having in the last few days, the possibility that the Roe Valley will actually have a Summer this year, is very high.

Let's hope for the best.

People living in the Aghanloo area can't have failed to notice intensive helicopter activity, particularly late in the evening and during the night. Rumour has it, that the army is training their pilots for service in Afghanistan and hence they follow the contours of mount Benevenagh in order to learn low flying over mountainous terrain.

It occurs to us that this training could be made much more realistic if local farmers would go about their daily business wearing  kaftans and a turban or two!
