Some excitement at the Mews today


It's been a while since we have posted to our blog. We've mostly been doing all the usual settling-in things, finding places for all our stuff, getting rid of the moving garbage (masses of cardboard box residues) etc. Lately we've been working on getting a new doctor, optometrist, all those changes after moving to a new area. Not too exciting to anyone but us.

We have been doing quite a bit of walking though. The top picture is from a lookout about 20 minutes walk from our place, overlooking Lake Huron. The lake is still mostly open, it's been a mild winter here. Mild, but we're happy to not be camping out in our van!

Another block of 4 units is under construction here at Bayfield Mews. Chilly work for the guys. They pre-assemble sections of the roof structures:


...and lift them on to the roofs of the new units:


Today though, something went awry, when the hi-lift loader got a bit tipsy:



Luckily nobody was hurt, and the loader will soon be back in action. Lifting it up will be a delicate operation though.




Back in snowy January we had a nice hike in the nearby Bannockburn Conservation Area





The web site has lots of no-snow pictures, we expect to be hiking there again. Spring is on the way, although there's a nippy wind out of the Northwest today.

  1. Hey that Bannockburn place looks kinda familiar. Once the snow is gone and you get to walking up into the high bush area there is a hard to see old stone house foundation right alongside the trail. It's in the northwest section of the perimeter trail. Crane fall over and go 'boom'.
