Not only that, most will be hopping on our own bus and will head to New York via a number of places. We intend keeping you up to date with our journey. Thanks for joining us!

Late night champers, and showers with room service!!!



Toronto!
Everyone is starting to arrive to the meeting point for our next adventure - Peterborough and the festival!

Of note - Carmel (Caramel from this point on :)) and June arrived late on Monday evening and checked into the very nice Sheraton and settled in their room about midnight.

What do we do now they thought.  What any well thought women should do - order champagne!  Why not celebrate.

While waiting Caramel decides to take a shower.  Over here it seems things are a little different to turn on, on different sides and so on.  Showers specifically are a challenge to turn on.  Fortunately room service arrives and Caramel welcomed the young man "would you like to come in the shower with me?"  At least she had the foresight to remove her flowery shower cal (not a good look) before he joined her!  The shower on, the young man made a hasty retreat.

Tomorrow we are meeting the bus - everyone should be there and we will make our way to Peterborough.

paddles up (soon).

Caramel and June arrive in Toronto - cheers!
A photographer just has to get the right angle!

  5. Ah! Ah! You all don't know about Carmel (or Caramel - that really suits her)do you?? Ask her about her night in an 'establishment of questionable reputation' in Paris. I'm afraid June, she is going to lead you astray but judging by that photo in the bed, I don't think you are going to mind one little bit! Like Carol, I think this blog is fantastic. I have passed it on to Jo from Bundy as well. Keep the photos coming and good luck in Peterborough.
