Wendy starts walking, and discovering, and writing…
Head west of Winnipeg, really just a few minute’s drive, and you will find the most delightful little park. Beaudry Provincial park has a picnic area, washrooms and … well not much more. Except, there are wonderful walking trails, that morph to cross-country ski trails in winter. A friend and I headed out on Friday, … Read more
It’s been a long time since my last post, but not yet a year. My last break exceeded a year. Hey, I’ll take my little victories when I can find them. I obviously need to track and police my walking. I will never understand that, since I am almost always thrilled once I am out … Read more
Here I am, over a year since my last post. However, I have become very lazy, and need to break the inertia. I remember that my walking exploration helped get me out and about, especially when I could come back here and talk about it. I hurt my knee in the spring, and was shut down … Read more
I did get out for a walk today, but opposite to my norm, I walked a lot less than planned. I had some running around to do, and then planned a stop at Fraser’s Grove park, near my library branch. I was looking forward to the walk, as this park goes down to the river, … Read more
I’m proud of this one. I don’t like to shop. It is possibly the most stressful and exhausting activity that I do. Today, I had three stops to make (multiple stores makes it worse), but after the last one, even though it was dark, we carried on up to the dog park for a quick … Read more
I am leaving Vancouver Island tomorrow morning. I had one thing left to do, and I can’t believe how close I came to deciding I had run out of time so should skip my trip to ‘Chosin Pottery. Metchosin is a tiny town, about 30 minutes from Victoria, and is the home of one of … Read more
Not much of a walk today, though I spent a fair amount of time at it. In fact, if I measured the knee bends, toe-touching and back bends, I probably had a pretty good workout. I leave for Winnipeg first thing Monday morning, so my time on the beach is growing short. We walked along … Read more
I drove to Langford, just north of Victoria to have some work done to my car, today. Langford is not a place I get along with well, and had I not been so ignorant about the language around “Greater” Victoria, I never would have called this auto service. However, by the time I found out … Read more
From two days with no images, to an overload. I went to find a castle today, and came home with the castle, Government house, a totem pole and a Mountie to share. First, the castle. I set off driving to find Craigdarroch Castle today. I assumed that any area that contained a real castle would … Read more
I was fully prepared to take a truant day. I was working my little heart out all day, and I have an appointment that will cost me tomorrow morning. However, by 11pm, my eyes were crossing, and Kenna needed to at least do her business. So, off we went. We walked to the beach, found … Read more
