Today.........

........I dabbled my fingers in Lake Huron, at Lion's Head on the Bruce Peninsula.  Can't help it, when there's a lake or a river I just have to try it out.  It was fairly cool but not cold, and certainly didn't freeze my fingers.  A cafe in Lion's Head sells delicious butter tarts and date squares, you will be pleased to know that should you ever visit.

All the Canadians we have met have been delightful and very helpful.  We have stayed in a couple of lovely B & Bs with very helpful hosts but tonight are slumming it, we're in a motel.

Have taken several photos but so far they haven't been uploaded to the computer.  The fall colours here have been spectacular and that's what most of my pics are!  Something to remember when we get back to Australia, because going into summer there won't be any autumn colours.......we will have to wait several months for them, and they won't have the rich colour that is found in Ontario.

Last Saturday I attended a quilt show and really enjoyed it, as seeing what others are doing is very inspirational.  Have also found a few quilt shops and bought some souvenir fabrics, isn't that a surprise?

Yesterday in Owen Sound we were entertained, if that is the right word, by two local male persons (one hesitates to use the word 'gentlemen') who were fighting in the main street.  Many naughty words were spoken, many punches and kicks were exchanged, and it all seemed to be caused by one man using the word 'plagiarist' to the other.  To look at them one would not have thought that either of them even knew the word, but perhaps one should not judge by first impressions.  Just as well there was no road traffic when they carried their fight to the middle of the street.

Tomorrow our journey continues.

Enjoy your days!

  2. Free international wrestling? People pay big money to see that if its in a ring.

    Sounds like aside from that you are enjoying your trip immensely.

  3. You would have had to have gone through my little town!! My quilting friends and I have a retreat in Tobermory, at the end of the peninsula, each spring. Small world.

    Enjoy your trip.
