Douglas and Alison went about their day as we both snoozed
away for another sleep-in. We then sat outside in the shade and read for a while
before the sun fought away the shadows and became too much.
We set off at about 12:30 and made our way to Elora where we
parked up to go and wander. This was a nice little village though we had soon
seen the majority of it. We had a look at the supports of the old bridge that
still remain in the river; we also could see the big mill from this viewpoint.
We then went and had lunch with Alison’s daughter and her
two girls before making our way down the road where we all got some ice-cream J Alison’s daughter then
left to drop off one of the girls and pick up their two dogs before she would
come back to Elora and meet us again. Whilst this was happening the four of us
wandered along the cliffs of the gorge, looking down at the rather sad looking
river below. After a bit of time here we made our way over to a bench where we
sat to wait for the others to return. During this time we saw a black squirrel
which neither of us two have ever seen before.
We followed the others in the car to a walking track in
Bloomingdale where we all got out and took the dogs for a walk around the
waters here. We felt a few lone drops of rain and all got our hopes up for a
well needed downpour but this was not to be… yet at least as the forecast is
for rain to come overnight.
After saying our goodbyes we went back to the house and then
all had ourselves some quiet time. Everyone but Danny had a sleep during this time;
Corrie winning the prize for longest sleep! Another great tea was had and then
followed with a good desert – that rare luxury we’re not familiar with on our
travels. After this we spent the last few hours of the day relaxing some more
and awaiting the rain.
