Once again, a great blog? I have a niece with the last name of Erikkson. Her father in law had a striking resemblance to the statue LOL free fresh cod. Can't get better than that. Jellybeans? I missed that blog Sherry

Living vicariously thru your blog.
Hi Barbara, I'm enjoying your blog - still haven't had time to work on mine, had a good long nap after the group left, may have some time today. Hope all is well and I will keep checking on you every couple of days.

wonderful
What wonderful memories I am enjoying through your blogs ... thank you Barb

Dwellings
Don't be bringing home any primitive dwellings! No matter how good the sale is!LOL

photos
that's funny that you say the cormorants are obnoxious when I think that it's the seagulls that are obnoxious. We stayed at a place in Perth where the woman had made a lovely art piece by gluing sea glass to a white board, simple but lovely. I make mobiles with holey shells but they do tend to smash up if it gets too windy Dennis just played the "Stompin' Tom", hockey song, video for me so now I know something about that. It must be 30 years since I had clam chowder. I would so love some :( and a real pie would be nice too I like the green of the "boulders" and the drill marks where they were quarried from their bed I also, love rocks, those rock formations, your "pebbles" photo... thanks again, for sharing your travels and these beautiful photos

camps
at least you have grass in the campgrounds. Here, some have patches of grass kept alive with regular watering but many of them are dry dirt/gravel. We prefer to be on our own in the bush and find a track off the road, into some secluded spot. This means no showers for up to 5 days and take a shovel to dig your toilet. (I'll use a facial wipe as a pre-soaped wash cloth once every couple of days.) Thanks for sharing

travels
I do so love the photos. I haven't seen bleeding hearts here. That halibut looks totally delicious, we don't get anything that luscious here. Having done a lighthouse tour here I find them very interesting and would like to see that tide marker in action. The bridge sounds pretty impressive. the longest bridge in our area is just over 603m

Once again you have a hilarious blog. Love the rug hooking and the bread man in tights.

On the road again?!
Glad you are enjoying the sites...but go to a walkin clinic to listen to your cough! Nake sure it is not pnemonia!!Love you

Hi
Glad your trip is going well. Do take care

easterly vs westerly
My one regret on leaving Canada was that I never made it east of Montreal so now I get to see some of it thanks to you. That little green apple cottage looks very cute and clean. (you and your sterilising, would not want to step foot in my daggy old home.) I've just come back from a 14 day 3,000k trip across to Fremantle (Perth). We too complained of false advertising with all the road signs warning of kangaroos, camels, and emus. Ok we did see emus on 3 occasions, roos on our last day and heard dingos one night but from our trips to the north I'm used to seeing more. We also went for 4 and 5 days with no civilization or conveniences but a camp fridge and gas camp stove. No bag n bucket but a shovel :) 8-12C overnight was plenty cold for us but didn't stop those terrible, no-see-em/sandfly/midges biting in the evening Looking forward to the next instalments

Change is in the air!
Hola Barbara! You have wonderful adventurous spirit. Your advice to gogogo while the going is good is being heeded! My husband and I have taken the plunge. In two months (had to give our notice), we will be moving to the Niagara Falls area. A BIG change for us for sure. But if we don't try it now we probably never will. So here we go on our big adventure! Enjoy the rest of your stay. Have an extra lobster for me! R:)
