Yarn for November and December, 2026

Our final Southern Yarn for 2026 awaits you, whether as a colourful version just a click away, or through the post, at the schedule of Canada Post (and our postage fees) in B&W on glorious goldenrod paper stock! As you please!

To get you started, here is the editorial—

There have been a few elections recently – New Zealand had a close one; unlike the one our neighbour to the south had, which spoke very loudly; here in Manitoba our municipal elections resulted in several new faces. Our DUCW AGM is coming up. Will members show interest and show up? Will there be silence? That would speak loudly! Meanwhile the wheels of the press keep turning, encouraged by the suggestions and contributions that are offered and permissions granted. I had a “Birds I view” subject lined up for this issue until I saw a post on Facebook by a friend in Qld – see p.8. And I had chosen a Famous Australian to feature until Pamela Sabourin pointedly shared another Facebook post – see p. 5. Because of the nature of our club, the Winnipeg Free Press gave permission to reproduce the story on the Hercules, p.4. Our ever-reliable Jenny Gates made time to send in her wines and coffee promos – p.7. Hearty thanks to all! (except that there was no space left for another AI assisted bush yarn ).
