Alan Medcalf (shown on the left of the photo below) and Marianne Carlyle will be participating in the seventh annual St. Lawrence River Big Swim. The nine kilometer swim starts at Fulford Point and finishes up at Blockhouse Island in Brockville.

Summer Time (continued)

I check the bulletin board frequently for spam and every time I log on there are two or three browsers on the forum. What are they looking at - it hasn't changed since the snow melted!!

Let's give everyone something to look at. What are you doing this gorgeous summer? I'm not very optimistic of anyone posting - but why not surprise me!!

Here's my input. In April I was swimming and sunning on this beach in Samana, Dominican Republic:

and in June was strolling along the Embankment at Westminster Bridge in London.



Yesterday I was gardening and Pete Meier cycled by towing his two beautiful children on his way to Browns Bay from Brockville - he must have been hot!

OK - your turn - how are you passing the time waiting for the snow to fly?

Summer Time

The Directors were working on the 'new chalet' until late spring in order to meet the Ministry of Natural Resources requirements for the initial permit. They are now ready for a change in venue.
