    Niagara Falls

    9 Haziran 2023, Kanada ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C

    This morning we packed up after a delicious breakfast together and drove the scenic route to Niagara Falls. Along the scenic route (which took about half an hour) which was be side the river which flows from the falls were the most amazing homes, gardens and vineyards. We stopped at a lookout overlooking the rushing water with a cable car stretching from one side to the other. Just awesome! But nothing prepares you for the first look at Niagara Falls. It is just breathtaking. We had an hour at the falls trying to soak in all the grandeur of the place. What a Mighty and Powerful God we know and love who created all things for his glory. We left there and headed back via the scenic route via another couple of wineries for lunch and an afternoon sit in the gorgeous sunshine which finally came out. It has been an amazing 2 days in this incredible part of the country and I have been royally looked after and spoilt.Okumaya devam et

    Book Road Sunday School picnic

    10 Haziran 2023, Kanada ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

    After a morning sleep in Karen and I drove to the local shops. We were redirected around many back streets as their was a massive parade happening with all sorts of floats and people lined the streets for Heritage Day! We finally made it home and put a salad together and headed out to the Book Road annual SS picnic. It was a fabulously organised event with the running races, tug of war, and many other events for all ages to join in with. I ended up winning the seniors walking race 😅 It was great meeting some more new faces and enjoying the lovely sunny day and seeing the kids have so much fun. Mel and I came home together as Karen and Ted went and helped Josh and Hannah move from the hospital to home. Baby Jono is doing so much better now. We enjoyed a scrumptious cheese platter to end the day. We are setting our alarms to get up bright and early for a 4 hour drive to the edge of the Great Lakes and an overnight stay with A. Joan Hodge.Okumaya devam et

    Bartlett Lodge

    11 Haziran 2023, Kanada ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

    Today we packed up and left at 7 am to drive 3.5 hours to Algonquin Provincial Park where our accommodation was. The drive through the countryside was spectacular and picture postcard stuff! We stopped at ‘Hodge’s lane’ on the way and saw where A.Joan’s late husband used to live when he was young. We also had a morning tea stop and enjoyed a cuppa and a fluffy almond croissant and spotted a deer! We then drove to Bartlett Lodge car park, hopped into a water taxi to take us to an island in the middle of the gorgeous lake, surrounded by fir trees and lush undergrowth. It was so surreal. The lodge consists of small huts complete with their own fireplace. We unpacked and headed down to the waters edge and sat on the chairs soaking in the view. The Lodge provided a sumptuous lunch which was packed in individual containers. We decided to have our meeting out there in the beautiful surroundings. After the meeting we hopped into the canoes 🛶 and paddled right around the Island. Ted spotted a moose and it’s yearling which he was stoked about as he had never seen one in the wild. I was behind them and missed it which was disappointing. We spent some time out there on the calm fresh water lake.. it was peaceful and serene. When we got back we changed and headed over to the diner. It was quaint and cozy. The food was homemade and top quality. We laughed so much that the waitress came and told us to stop having so much fun! After dinner we found a cozy spot by the fire and had a game of cards which ended an amazing day.Okumaya devam et

    Bartlett lodge day 2

    12 Haziran 2023, Kanada ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

    We woke after a beautiful nights sleep, as it was so quiet and cool. It was drizzling this morning. The first rain I have had all holidays! But it was so refreshing after the smoke haze we have had over here. We enjoyed a delicious home cooked breakfast at the lodge and then we went for a trek out the back of the lodge around the island complete with umbrellas. We got quite wet but it was just so beautiful with wild flowers everywhere and dense rainforest to push through. Unfortunately no more moose were spotted! We then packed up - caught the water taxi back and drove home via a famous burger shop with old trains as the diner eatery area. We got home and Ted and Karen went out shopping for the ingredients for our last dinner together tomorrow night which is being cooked by Mel and Ted tomorrow and needs an early start.. Karen and I have 3 coffee appointments with different people tomorrow!! They came back and Ted served calamari as a snack and we ended another lovely day with a good old d&m.Okumaya devam et

    Coffee catch ups

    13 Haziran 2023, Kanada ⋅ ⛅ 12 °C

    Today we had 3 appointments. The first at 9.30 was at Kayla and Jacob Hodge’s cottage with Hannah and Priscilla and all Karen’s grandies. Kayla made beautiful muffins and coffee and I sat and cuddled baby Jono and chatted to the girls. Kayla then gave me the tour of her garden of which the majority is veggies. I have loved getting to know these beautiful ladies and all their gorgeous kids. We hugged goodbye and then we headed to our next appointment at 11.45 with the lovely ‘Anna’ a dear friend of Karen’s. It was so nice to meet her and have some lunch together. She has promised to write to me and I will look forward to that! After that we drove to the local shops to pick up the rack of lamb for dinner, and then our last coffee date was with Linda Ghent. It was so nice to connect with her as she knows Mum and Dad and had a few good stories to tell on a few trips they have shared together. We left there and headed home to the chefs cooking up a storm for our last dinner together. Mel had prepared duck tacos for the appetisers and Ted was organising the crust for the rack of lamb. Karen and I were on desert, which were special chocolates and affogatos. It was another delicious meal. We finished a lovely evening and memorable day with the Bible readings.Okumaya devam et

    Heading home!

    14 Haziran 2023, Kanada ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

    Well today is my last day here in Canada - Ted and Karen dropped me off at the airport after an awesome 10 days with them. I am all checked in and ready for the long flight home! It’s been an amazing holiday which I am so thankful to have experienced. I have seen many amazing things, renewed friendships, made new friends, and created beautiful memories. But I’m ready to come home, reinvigorated and ready to hug loved ones - in the end there is no place like home and travel makes you appreciate this. 🏡 🇦🇺Okumaya devam et
