Bad weather, especially at week-end, prevented anything but short walks about Rathfarnham & The Dodder until 10th, when we took bus to Bohernabreena & walked up the road past R.C.C. Chapel to Glenasmole school, down to upper dam & back to bus through water works.  On way back stopped for a few minutes in shelter 200 yards below Moore's & took 4 icks with sucker, running about on bramble leaves under trees.  

On 7th Dec, Petasites fragrans seen far in flower at Templeogue Bridge, though not out here 3 weeks earlier.
