Warmer overnight again had a real good sleep and we up early as usual. Puttered around got some walkabouts done, Suzie had her shower, and I dumped our tanks , secured the coach and hit the road shortly after 9:30 am. No rush only 95 miles, about 1/2 of it on some nice scenic back roads.One sight we drove by as we have done for many years this old car that looks amazing but is only one foot wide, my front photo did not turn our, darn .
A lot of this area near Tillsonburg and Simcoe was major tobacco country in the day, mostly now has been converted to Ginseng operations, That can be spotted grown under these black covers in the fields.
this is actually a Tobacco field, still a few left in this area |
Below is some of their huge vegetable garden soon to be harvested, early crops this year.
Bill has been busy cutting and splitting wood for this winters' heat source for the house. All the wood is free he just need to do the work. Below is about 1/2 the wood he will need for this coming winter. Keeps him busy and he gets some nice exercise as well.
thats is a a lot of wood, but it is a large house too. |
we parked here beside the driving shed |
nice patio here at the back of the house to relax |
Bill BBQ'd some prime rib burgers for supper, one chorizo burger on the right for him to try |

for desert Chris has made a very tasty lemon cake to go with the fresh melon right out of the garden excellent |
she also got me the one and only fresh strawberry right for her garden oh so sweet |
her dogs running about in their kennel barking, she used to breed them Pugs and Schnauzers |
