雨女（あめおんな）

先日（せんじつ）、私は箱根（はこね）に行った。箱根は神奈川（かながわ）県（けん）にある国内（こくない）屈指（くっし）の温泉街（おんせんがい）だ。残念（ざんねん）なことに、私は雨女なので、旅行（りょこう）に行く時はよく雨が降（ふ）る。当日（とうじつ）も例（れい）に漏（も）れず、雨が降っていた。

大雨（おおあめ）が降る中（なか）、箱根湯本（はこねゆもと）駅（えき）から宿泊（しゅくはく）する旅館（りょかん）まで歩いた。途中（とちゅう）で旦那（だんな）と箱根まんじゅうを食べたり、晩酌（ばんしゃく）用（よう）のお酒（さけ）やおつまみを買ったりした。旅館に到着（とうちゃく）後（ご）、貸切（かしきり）露天風呂（ろてんぶろ）に入ったのだが、この時の雨はなんだかとても美しく思えた。雨と木々（きぎ）の香（かお）りに包（つつ）まれながら入る温泉（おんせん）は、なんと清々（すがすが）しいことか。いつもなら憎（にく）いと思う雨も、こんな日には悪（わる）くない。

Teacher Joseph's Podcast

To be Fed Up (with transcript)

Neil McTaggart makes his first journey into town after settling in Canada.
The air is clean, the world quieter than the mills of Kilbirnie he left behind. In a warm little café, he meets Mrs Brant, a woman with her hair pinned up and a strong puritan look that reminds him of his grandmother. Through her quiet kindness, Neil begins to sense what belonging might feel like in this new land.

This gentle, reflective story captures the rhythm of early immigrant life in rural Canada — the small kindnesses, the silence, and the slow building of community far from home.

🎧 Part of the “Neil McTaggart” storytelling series — following a young Scottish man’s journey of migration, memory, and identity in 1920s Canada.
