One of the most awarding experiences of this course has been believe it or not, the bus journey from Newry to Armagh. The bus embarks on a one hour journey winding through small country settlements such as Whitecross, Newtownhamilton, Markethill, and Glenane.
Even though I grew up in Newry it was my first time on this route and these settlements I saw for the very first time. I started the course in Autumn when the leaves just started to fall and hedges began to mutate into a feast of gold, rusts and brown.
Some days were met with foggy morns where the mist lay hanging in the fields softly lit by the breaking sun.

Rising sun softly lighting the fields.

After having lived abroad in the Middle East for the last eighteen years I am simply awed and mystified by hte beauty from the bus window. This journey even inspired me to write poetry.
