Autumn is my favourite time of year. Although I am a proud Westerner, the Fall in Ontario is pretty amazing. One of my favourite things to do at this time of year is to walk around Parliament Hill and the surrounding area. Canadian Thanksgiving is a sure sign of Autumn. Here's some of the meal I made for it.... Last year when making Butternut Squash Soup , I realized I had bought more squash than needed....

We arrived at Monte Carlo this morning at about 8am. As usual it was spectacular, one of my favourite places. This time we were unable to go into the Marina as there was another cruise ship, the RUBY PRINCESS already in there. Monte Carlo was very busy as it was the Monte Carlo Boat Show. The bay was filled with millions of pounds worth of super yachts and was quite a sight to see. There was a bit...

Getting Stitched on the Farm (Free subscription) | 10/08/2009
Fall color is really ramping up here in New England. Every day is prettier than the next. All I want to do is drive around in my car and look at the color or walk up and down our hill. The light is so spectacular this time of year – everything looks so incredible. On Sunday I have to go to Detroit to tape a new season of Knit and Crochet Today. I am knitting, knitting, and knitting for the t.v....

The Dolphin did it. That is likely to be the defense of the Brookfield Zoo near Chicago, which is being sued for the 2008 fall of Allecyn Edwards. Edwards fell while walking near the exhibit of Atlantic bottlenose dolphins. The dolphins were performing and where there are dolphins performing there is usually water. [...]

Paul, John and Sue came along on the Bank of Scotland's Hillwalking Club winter skills weekend and encountered the Cairngorm winds today! We found a pleasant spot on the side of the Fiacaill Ridge for ice axe breaking then headed into Coire an t-Sneachda and the moraine ridge for lunch. Then, for some practice with the crampons, we went up below the Mess of Pottage to the plateau. As we reached the...

A pleasant sunny morning in Coire an t-Sneachda with good firm neve on the climbs and a light dusting of snow on the buttresses. During the afternoon the winds got up a bit as a few light snow showers passed creating some atmospheric spindrift on the climb. Fi was out hillwalking with Kim who was practising her navigation.

The Otter has a hot date hillwalking (hillwalking?) with some woman that works out at that Health Club for pansies and can wear Lycra. "Attractive?" "Second only to the chick that works in The Bothy" Pah! I find that hard to believe, as the 'chick that works in The Bothy,' who of course cannot possibly be from Scotland or even any part of the Uk, is so beautiful as to be accepted...

Good morning, dear reader. And what a morning it is. Crisp and clear, but with that touch of red in the dawn sky to bode a warning for the unready shepherd. In short, a day for some mindless hillwalking. O'Leary! O'Reilly! and so on and so forth. Except it's not. We have gut issues. The Naked Entera are still a tad sore today, showing that last night's post below (don't look; it's too awful) was
