The Return Monsieur Honey's Morris Chair.

Some of you may remember my earlier post dated July 15th titled "Monsieur Honey's Morris Chair" ...  I wrote about the special fabric we purchased in France and the chair Msr. Honey had built and that we delivered to the upholstery store where cushions were custom ordered to fit the chair.

    The Naked Chair...

    built by Monsieur Honey from cherry wood.

Today on our way to do an errand we were driving by the upholstery store and I was "frantic" because I saw our chair in the window.

A quick U- turn and we were back at the store with payment made, the chair and cushions were loaded in the car for it's ride to our home.

The chair is now quite at home amongst our eclectic style and other pieces of furniture.

It has been "seat tested" by several visitors today ... and is firm, supportive and very comfortable.

The chosen fabric is beautiful.

    Great workmanship by Rene from Frantic Upholstery.

Vacation Stop

I'm temporarily in "Summer Vacation" mode ... and deciding whether I will continue with my blogging.

As you know we returned from France early in July and without over using the "it has been busy, busy" comment ... it actually has been very busy!

Since we've retired we always have family and friends ask what do you do all day?

It is a difficult question to answer...

I love taking photos and writing and sharing stories and experiences. 

Over the next few weeks I hope to figure out if I will continue with my blog during our "in between" stages, i.e. when we are not on an adventure.

I' m trying to walk most days so that I may be able to do the Pilgrimage walk to Santiago de Compostella next year...and right now we are discussing what other adventures and bucket list items we would like to do.

So for today I will share with you some "postcard photos" from our many trips to France.

À bientôt.

Summer Adventures...

I created my own adventure in nature and discovered some beautiful new things and some local history along the way...

Our town has a very comprehensive trail system.

I have not walked all the trails yet, but plan to do so... 

I added some additional streets and routes to my walk today... in the end I had taken 14,000 plus steps which for me equalled 9.25 kilometres.

Did you read the sigh?

Are they serious? ... it is all I can do to walk across it!

This bridge that crosses Tillsonburg's own Lake Lisgar I think is made of expanded mesh that you can see through which immediately gives me a pair of wobbly sea legs and vertigo.

But I am proud to say I did go from one side to the other... albeit with clammy and perspiring hands!!!

This trail follows the lake near the Town's Water Park ...

   

 

         

     

Do you have all your ducks lined up?

      

         

 

    

The pirates' play park .... that the grandsons love to visit!

Such a peaceful place to take a walk...
