Hiking on the outskirts of London - Mar 9th

The start of the snow-packed trail - a canopy of sticks with sun streaming through.

No cycling, no horseback riding, and no tanks!



Follow the leader...

Portions of boardwalk provided breaks from the icy trail - the bridge crossed a trickling, snow-melt stream.

And here it is...a good sign that spring is on its way!







With all the ice, the trees provided much-needed hand holds for getting up the hill.



After three attempts, I got the self-shot centred...not bad (while trying to keep back from the steep ravine behind us)!

Salmon Dinner - Mar 8th (mmmmm!)

This is a salmon, asparagus meat pillow...and a delicious one at that!

Lindsay has the right tool to make the transfer to the plate!

And voila! The perfect cross section has been made and plated.

Googley eyes over the meal and from my third glass of wine.

Waft up and inhale! Yum. Here's the perfect application for smellovision!

Maple Syrup Breakfast

The Pancake House - yes, they serve flapjacks in here.

Golden heaven on a plate. Look at the size of the jug! It was full when we started (just kidding).

 

This was the only piece that survived the flood.

Not going to lie...at this point I wanted to stop.

If we start walking now, we'll be there by dinner. Also, the B Dixon license plate is named after our friend Bill Dixon...but it's not his...we think.
