I can’t say Tobermory without thinking of the character, Uncle Tobermory, from the Wombats of Wimbledon, but that’s an aside. Tobermory at the end of the Bruce Peninsula, where the ferry leaves for Manitoulin Island, is a very popular spot. Its main recreational activity seems to be underwater diving. We saw several groups of divers […]
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 happened upon a page on Facebook entitled The Art of Nonconformity. I didn’t realize that nonconformity was an art form or that it could be raised to the level of art. It’s true that the majority of artists could be considered nonconformists. Certainly all new and fresh ideas come from people who have a
We went out yesterday to establish a baseline for how far and/or how long we could walk in fairly rugged terrain, before we do some extended hiking on the Bruce Trail. We did this with the biking, before we cycled Le P’tit Train du Nord in June, however we were a little casual about our
My husband threw a surprise birthday party for me last Sunday and I was really surprised!! I had no idea, when we left the house, supposedly to go to a small office function hosted by one of his staff, that it was actually a birthday party for me. I am so glad that I didn’t
I enjoy the words associated with groups of “things,” such as, “a gaggle of geese” or “a pride of lions” and I really enjoy making up terms to apply to groups of “things,” which maybe need a little more recognition.
