After our first night of reasonable sleep, we decided the best plan of action for the next two days before we head north to Scotland was to keep as busy as possible. We were suffering from further jetlag which was sending us for a bit of a loop. So off to Chester we did go. … More Chester, UK – 19th May 2022

Part Two of our 2022 holiday saga. We had been home for ten days from Australia to “recentre” as they say and get ready to head out again. Maybe it is our age and that we have not been able to travel for the last two and a half years, but the jetlag we suffered … More On the Road Again – 17th to 18th May 2022

It has been a very hectic last week in Australia. Last weekend saw us being extremely social with catching up with our good friend Nick who came down from Brisbane to Melbourne to catch up with us.

So, what have been up to for the last week. Once again, we are enjoying the beautiful weather. We had best not rub that in as we heard that Calgary had a spring snow storm which dumped 22 cm – pleased we missed that one. The immediate family took a few of Trevor’s (Fraser’s father) … More Melbourne – ANZAC Day – 25th April 2022

It has all been a bit of a blur this last week. One thing that has not been a blur is the beautiful weather. We have had highs of 28c which has sent the lilly white Canadians for a bit of a sixer. We survived the F1 grand prix without losing our hearing or sanity … More Melbourne – Rowe Family – 17th April 2022

Our apologies on being recalcitrant regarding our first blog posting. Life has just got in the way the last couple of days along with us experiencing the flight from hell. Thought we would use this opportunity to update everyone as to our working status and how it fits into our current and future travel plans … More YYC-YVR-SYD-MLB – 4th to 6th April 2022

Our flight wasn’t until 1.05pm but from 8.00am it was full on. Showers and then take Toque for a walk and then visit the Golden Arches on the way back for some totally unhealthy breakfast. It was a little difficult but we found some grass where we could throw her ball for her and try … More LHR to YYC – 6th September 2019

A semi leisurely breakfast aboard Ange De L’Eau with Wolfgang and Marlene before Fraser walked the two minutes to the hire car office to pick up our mode of transport.

This morning we left the Grand Union Canal at Gayton Junction and headed off down the Northampton Arm of the Grand Union and onto the River Nene.
