I still haven’t processed all the photos from our trip to El Salvador… but I did finish the Salvadoran knitting. Introducing Yolanda’s Henslowe: Every time I make one of these I think ‘these shawls go fast!’ and I always forget that bloody picot bind off. This time I got hung up enough on it to…

Just a quick note to show you this fabulous place :)

This photo set is from our 2011 visit to Cathedral Grove, British Columbia. Cathedral grove, or MacMillan Provincial Park contains a 157 hectare stand of very old, very large Douglas-fir trees, including one that was over 300 years old when Christopher Columbus came to North America.

Day 5 we stayed in Hearst all day, but didn’t really do much. I think it was more about spending a day off the road and giving the car (Tito) a break! Day 6 we left Hearst heading east and south trough Kapuskasing, Cochrane, Iroquois Falls, Timmins and then making a massive loop back to…

Day 4 of the trip was the long haul to Hearst. The previous day has ended with a 4 hour, incredibly stressful drive through a massive rain storm into Thunder Bay. Worst of all, the aurora must’ve been bright – because I actually caught some through the clouds but couldn’t stop because it was too…
