UK 2026: Planes, Trains and shoes
Good day, I say! Yesterday we left Canada and early this morning we arrived in London. I failed to sleep on the flight. Mrs Milddogs believes she got almost 3 minutes of sleep. Flight was uneventful. I enjoyed two complimentary Coors Light during the flight. Our hotel in the Leicester Square area has an early…

Dear Aunt Agatha
Dearest Aunt, It has been far too long since we last corresponded. Despite retirement, Mrs Milddogs and I have been busy. We have not ventured out on any van excursions since our last post and sadly won’t be going to visit our cousin Buc-ee nor uncle HEB this year. We miss them tremendously and yearn…

NS 2025: Day 13: Home: Cash only!
Well, the forecast lied a little. The rain did subside with just traces over night. Rather than the soothing sound of raindrops we had the alarming sound of thousands of acorns (not eggcorns) falling from the plentiful oak trees in the park. If you have not been, the park is well situated but perhaps a…

NS 2025: Day 12: Drummondville, QC: When the rains came
Beautiful, quiet night in Hartland next to the covered bridge. By the time I awoke and looked outside, the third member of our trinity, the Leisure Travel Van, had already departed leaving us and the close parking Hymer from Manitoba. Wasn’t hard to decide where to head on the morning walk. I crossed the bridge…

NS 2025: Day 11: Hartland, NB: It’s a big bridge
It was supposed to rain during the night and there may have been a few drops. It was surprisingly warm so we had the windows open most of the night. As morning broke Amy made us aware that she needs love in the form of a morning cuddle. For the morning walk I did pretty…

NS 2025: Day 10: Northport, NS: The return of Fish and Chips!
Morning was overcast but an acceptable 12 degrees (that means T-shirt weather for the morning walk). I got a late start (cause vacation) and headed out along the highway again. I went a bit further this time up past the school. Along the way I met 3 citizens that were cleaning up the garbage along…

NS2025: Day 9: Northport, NS: Bakery Withdrawl
Beautiful morning here on the coast. I set out to walk around the nearby neighbourhood. It’s about 1 km loop. I decided to brave the road after ascertaining the width and quality of the shoulders. Well, they were wide enough to fit my shoulders and quality was suitably substandard enough that they would strongly discourage…

NS 2025: Day 8: Northport, NS: Beach Pup
Morning walk was a repeat of yesterday’s route. It was just a few degrees cooler. Pace was better. I did manage to see 4 deer on the walk. None in the kilometre long woodland trail. All in the neighbourhood. Only one deer picture for you today. We got ready and hit the road before 11:00….

NS 2005: Day 7: Truro, NS: Oh Deer!
Things you just can’t believe. It rained a bit last night. Seriously! Listening to the rain fall on the roof of the van is much like the patter of rain on a cottage tin roof. Peaceful for a bit, and then you just want to get to sleep! By the time I got out for…
