….or I Always Get What I Want. I mentioned a couple of days ago how I have been saying that I thought that a hermit crab would make an ideal pet but we were blessed with Crabby who is more of a hole crab than a hermit. Well yesterday, wouldn’t you know it, a hermit crab […]
Travel-Blog #11
…….or Temporary Pets. Many of our campsites have come with pets, both welcomed and unwelcomed. There have been cats, ducks, raccoons and always the little ants which have no trouble finding the garbage can inside the camper. This cat roamed regularly through our site at Hunting Island: We recently had to change campsites here at Knight’s Key […]
Last Kick at Christmas
….or Have You Had Enough of Christmas Yet? I usually have Christmas back in the box by Old Christmas Day or January 6th. Indeed, it didn’t take too long to wind up the set of lights and put the pine cones in a bag. The pineapple I decorated has long since been eaten and our […]
Happy New Year
Christmas has come and gone and we now know that the scary mysterious gift was just a bird-feeder after all. Boxing day came and I started my Boxing day puzzle: and the stork came and went, welcome to the world little Melody, congratulations Chad and Patricia (please send a pic!) and I finished my puzzle. […]

…..or Tales from the Tin Can Tourists. On November 21 I donned my Rosies Coveralls and we stowed our chattels and battened down the hatches and drove from Williamsburg to our next stop, Cape Hatteras. An overcast day with little wind made for easy travel and as I knit sock monkeys I took in the scenery. Still […]
Jamestown Settlement
The Glasshouse of the Jamestown settlement is not to be confused with the glass house of “he who lives in glass house should not throw stones.” It is a huge wooden barn of a building with a few smaller windows and lots of doors. Indeed, the side come right out of ‘er which I am […]
Jamestown VA
If you’re not into the bare bones of an archaeological dig, especially on a cold day, then you would probably find the Jamestown Settlement museum more to your liking. It is associated with a gallery of exhibits but the highlight is the living history area where you will find a Powhatan Indian Village, A […]
Jamestown, VA
…..or today’s costume: tourist. Jamestown was the first permanent English settlement in the Americas and I was keen to get a look at it as a couple of years ago I visited the oldest English colony in Canada at Cupids Newfoundland. Jamestown dates back to 1607 while Cupids is believed to have been settled in 1610. Of […]

The next leg of our trip was from Falls Church to Williamsburg, Virginia. Driving south, the proportion of leaves still on the trees increased as it had been doing since we left home. The leaves that were there were in a state of decline however, and their fall colours a lot less brilliant. Mostly tired browns and yellows […]
Travel-Blog #3
…or Adventures in Man-land. The drive from Sturbridge, Mass. to Falls Church, Virginia was not exciting. I noted that there were still a lot of leaves on the trees but they too were fading to shades of brown and gold. The temperatures were more like winter than autumn. I heard snippets of conversation in coffee shops and […]
