A good chunk of my first novel, The Sunbeam Room, was set in Ottawa. So it was joy today to visit the house that my protagonist Sarah lived in, walk up Elgin Street and scout out potential cafes whereBaca selengkapnya

When the Paul family moved to Rainier in the summer of 1974, we only knew a few families. Little did I know that our neighbours up the road — a widow and her two children would become such fastBaca selengkapnya
Pelancong Such kind words Scott. Mom was proud of you and always asking “how is Scott doing?” Thank you so much
Pelancong Thank you Scott. After her eulogy we played your video remembering her putting something in your ‘unattended’ bags! Thank you for sharing that. Still waters ran deep 💕
Pelancong You are welcome. Each word came from the heart. Wishing you all the best as you navigate these waters of grief.

Lazy post …
Pelancong I can’t believe it’s been 29 days since I saw you two. It’s been an enjoyable time reading about your daily adventures , thoughts and experiencing your travels through your pictures. Nice to see your smiling faces.
Pelancong Thanks Rod. Send me a screenshot of how many days you have left before your retirement. Can’t think of a man who has earned it more.

The churches in small-town Quebec are incredible. Their spires, towering over the forests as we approach. How the local communities support these edifices is beyond me.

I love our leaf. Seriously, is there a better flag in the world? We marked our Canada Day celebrations in two provinces, Quebec and New Brunswick.

Pelancong Did you take in the Potato Festival? I wonder what would be different. In Alberta, potatoes would be ready in September/October so it sounds a bit early for the festival.
Pelancong I agree. We arrived at the end of the day as things were winding down. McCains was founded not so far away and there is a huge processing plant nearby.
Pelancong Glad the skies opend up enough to keep on riding. The wooden bridges of New Brunswick are discovered throughout the province. Have fun.

Pelancong Wonderful to walk in the footsteps of fiction and meet new friends along the way.
Pelancong The resemblance between you and the statue in the last post could have made a good plot for the Twilight Zone. Good to see you enjoying yourselves in a very unique way in Ottawa!
