Wagon rides at Springridge Farm

The "farmhouse" at Springridge (at $8 a ride - guess who's paying for it)

We used to call it "Road Works". Now it's "Rehabilitation"




This is Centennial Drive in Burlington during its "Rehabilitation Process".
That's what the people in City Hall are calling it now. Maybe next time it'll be Rejuvenation.

In a ditch ....


I didn't notice the big guy at the bottom until I saw him on the computer. Camoflage is a wonderful thing!

I've been here often - just not lately


Dixslade, Southend, Mumbles, Swansea.
The white cottage used to belong to my sister and her late husband. It's walking distance to "The George" pub, and a few more steps to the beach. I used to take "The Mumbles Train" to go and visit them. Great memories :-))

Hamilton Harbour

The three bridges. The two towers of the Lift Bridge (painted green) and the Burllington Skyway twinned bridges of the eight lane Queen Elizabety Highway from Toronto to Niagara.


Burington Canal Lighthouse. It's impossible to get a shot of this 1858 lighthouse without showing surrounding steelwork. However here's a link to its story ....... http://www.lighthousedepot.com/lite_digest.asp?action=get_article&sk=1476&bhcd2=1223422135

What takes 300 hp to go up comes down a lot easier (but still takes 300 hp to hold it back)

East Side Mario's

The ambience of a restaurant has a direct result on the satisfaction of the meal ......
Well - we left well nourished and completely satisfied .....
