Burlington

I am still getting to know the settings so this isn't as good as it actually was.

Burlington

I ate the WHOLE box myself!

I was woken up by a Full Moon at around midnight. So retaliated by taking its photo. You will see, upon enlarging it, that the moon is not cream cheese - it is a Big Apple!

Only one week to go. Can't find any skating stuff for Sandra so will have to get her something else. It has to be light as I have spoiled myself with all sorts of goodies.

Cambridge

Inside there are 4 aisles like this. All sorts of dealers have stands to sell their wares.

The main entrance doesn't show what is to come.

The whole of the top floor is for antiques.

St Mary's

This is the plaque to commemorate the building of a flood wall. It is about 15 feet above the river banks.

Bridge over the Thames

It could be a beaver but could also be a large Muskrat.

Elora

These were flour mills in the old days. There are two, one on each side of the river.

West Montrose

This was built over 100 years ago, and still works.

On the inside looking out. I wonder if the householder gets fed up with car lights at night.

St Jacobs

This building stocks almost nothing except peanuts. I made Paul a pound of fresh peanut butter!

NB I changed the setting on my camera to try to get the feeling of what I thought as cold. Does it work?

St Jacobs

A wall painting of a Mennonite buggy...

And the real thing!

St Jacobs

St Jacobs has an Art Centre in some old silos. I couldn't take photos. The work is outstanding and if I had the space I would have brought back most of it.

Kitchener

Uilspieel wants to take up whittling, so here is an inspirational panel. This one should be sent to Lynda when done.

Happy whittling, Uilspieel!

Tavistock

I thought it snowed in Tavistock but everyone else told me that wasn't snow.

Tavistock

Bill by his wood stove - shades of the Klondike?






One of many samples of Stained Glass work by Jill.







This is a shadow box - Bill made everything in it. Like Jill with her stained glass he, too, is a talented artist.

St Jacobs

I simply couldn't resist this. It is absolutely perfect for the up and coming School Ma'am!

The boys stick together and so do the girls. I didn't photograph the girls out of respect for their beliefs.

St Jacobs

We went to a Farmers Market in St Jacobs - the heart of Mennonite Country. Here we see a Yokoshi Kami Kumite enjoying an Apple Fritter - a Dutch specialty. I got the recipe!

Burlington

A Happy New Year to all of you from all of US! (Subject is blurred - NOT the camera!)
