In Lion’s Head, on the Bruce Trail, we stayed at a lovely B&B called “The Cat’s Pajamas.” Located in a delightful old house and maintained by a wonderful hostess, who fed and entertained us, The Cat’s Pajamas is one of several B&Bs in the area, listed on the B&B network. Lion’s Head also has a […]
I promised that I would let people know when were going to do some hiking on the Bruce Trail, so that you would have a head’s up about the weather. Sorry I forgot. You see, we seem to attract rain!! Whenever we have planned a holiday or a few days away this year, it has

I have to catch up on a few posts in the blog-a-day challenge for 2013, so I hope that you don’t mind the travelogue.
