At the top of Ivinghoe Beacon is a beautiful view. It's a nice little climb up to a lovely look out that marks the end of the Chiltern Hill range. We climbed up yesterday for David's birthday for a birthday…

Oh the canal. One of my favourite parts of England when we visit. This picture was yesterday and there were swans and even a somewhat grown signet if you can just make him out in the picture. I love the…

The good old folks at West Jet landed us safely at Gatwick airport without incident. I always forget how I can't really sleep all that well sitting straight up in a chair. They really don't come through bothering you a…

Oh yeah it's travel day. We're off to the United Kingdom for adventure and romance. It always feels strange on the travel day and you can't quite get swept away in the romance of it all if you don't follow…

Today is our last day in NS before we head to the UK for a month. And what a lovely day it's been, at least so far. We visited the fine folks at Jost Winery and then the Blue Sea…

Today we head to Bridgetown in the Annapolis Valley to play at…

This is my new view outside my front door. It rained pretty steady for pretty much the whole night and morning and I'm told it's going to keep on coming. 

Rainy days. I kind of love them sometimes when…

The things I appreciate sometimes. For the last 10 years or so that I have been traversing and living in different areas I haven't had the luxury of a clothesline. In some places it was even frowned upon, which I…
