Renovate My Dreams
Hello …. Is there anyone out there?
This morning I had coffee with a lovely gentleman who has just recently been diagnosed with PC. He commented that he made contact as he just wanted to talk to someone. As I drove home I was thinking about this and thought, I do understand what he was meaning. I have an amazing support crew …
The circle is now complete
The completion of the circle is complete when I woke this morning in Lindsay, Ontario and everything was coated in snow. Its hard to think that on Saturday we fly home to New Zealand. 227 days or 7 months an 13 days since we left New Zealand for our adventure. We are heading home. I …
The magical carpet
As we leave St Ignace and head further north up through the Upper Peninsular I have to admit to feeling mixed emotions. So sad to think we are a month out of the end of our amazing adventure, yet so excited to get back to Lindsay to see, hold and cuddle the little people. It …
ST IGNACE – A step back in time
We travelled up through the Upper Peninsula of Michigan through the trees as they seemed to be changing colours as we passed them and crossing the Mackinac Bridge (55 stories high and 5 miles long), that crosses where Lake Michigan and Lake Huron meet. When this bridge was opened in 1957 it was the longest …

St Louis, the Gateway to the West.
We sadly left Bardstown and headed east to St Louis. It was a little far for us to drive in one day, so we had a one night stop off just out of Evansville in Indiana. Darn, and drats, we have usually stayed a minimum of 2 nights at each site, but as we had …
BARDSTOWN. THE BOURBON CAPITAL OF THE WORLD.
Up till we were in Muscle Shoals I had never heard of a town called Bardstown. In fact we weren’t told of this place by name, but by the area. Its part of the Bourbon Trail on the Bluegrass Parkway in Kentucky. TOH is a whiskey drinker and after tasting a number of the Tennessee …
