A few days in Clinton

This week we were mostly house-sitting for our Clinton friends while they took a short holiday trip to Wisconsin.

Clinton is a nice little town about 20 km east of Goderich Ont. No beaches here, but the Lake Huron shores aren't far away.

On Thursday we took a walk around town on the warm summer evening.

A neat water fountain, dry right now

The local Clinton Pipers band was having a practice session:

 Here's a little video to watch if you enjoy piping:


Friday afternoon we went to Bayfield for their regular Farmer's Market. Pretty small really (especially if you're familiar with the St Jacobs / Waterloo market) but it's local products, and well-attended.

Heading to Cambridge and Waterloo for the weekend, visiting kids and their driveways.

  1. I think having to camp out in your van for a number of months before moving into your new place will make you look forward to and appreciate your new digs all the more.
