AM
Had a late night last night so it was unusual not to get out of bed until nearly 9am. You would've laughed at me this morning wrapped up like an Eskimo. I was doing a reverse butterfly cycle from winged last night to fully cocooned this morning! The forecast said it may snow here in Wingham this evening - and to think it was as hot as a British summer day on Thursday. Mental weather ... but then that will be a result of the hurricane that is moving up from the States.
We didn't stay long at Gayle and Peter's this morning - we're getting off early to visit some beautiful little places near Wingham on our route back to Cambridge.
PM
Stopped in a beautiful place called Goderich (yes I know it sounds like something from Harry Potter). Darren Booth had been telling me I need to see it for years so I am glad we went. It was stunning despite it being so blustery and cold. The town is set against Lake Huron and we drove up to the "beach" to see it. Such a vast space of fresh water - it was quite incredible to see. These great lakes are bigger than some seas - much bigger than the Mediterranean but it's all fresh water. The size of things over here make me feel so small but in some ways that was comforting. Mum and I both said how we have to come back here in the summer with you next year so that you can see it too.
We had brunch in a diner, a proper style diner and I had the biggest portion of pancakes I have ever seen in my life. I nearly had a heart attack when it arrived - but it was fun to have something authentic and I just ate what I could manage.
From Goderich we drove to a place called Stratford and the drive was lovely - so much open space and farm land as far as the eye could see. We were getting ideas of towns where my Mum could potentially move to but that was still in reasonable driving distance to work for her. I couldn't help looking at all the different houses dotting about and imagining you and I living there one day. Picket fence galore over here SB :) .
We must of driven a total of nearly 200km today - that some distance covered and I was incredibly sleepy when we came back to the house. Funny how travelling makes you tired even though I had just been sat in a seat all day. Was lots to take in and process for my brain though and I was day dreaming of you being there the whole time.
I am going to have to have an early night because I will no way last until later on... home all day tomorrow so I should be able to give you a more informed blog then.
Day twelve passed by...
