A Typical Day On The Road...


Gus is always up early, making coffee, lighting the fire and catching up on various off-line requirements… 
Max usually finds it more difficult to wake up, even with the offer of a hot cup of tea…
A healthy breakfast of yoghurt, blueberries, granola. And sometimes, we even get fire-burnt toast...
Every few days, a man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do…
 …that includes the daily shovel-necessary requirements!
 Sometimes, we even have some recreational time…
On the road...
… this is how we spend most of each day…

 …and rewarded by some magnificent views along the way...











Lunch time! Spent anywhere along the road where we like the look of…


Around 5pm, sometimes as late as 6pm, we’ll find a camp. Easy when there’s a National Park or Provincial Park to offer us an official site…

 …more challenging when we have to find a wild place somewhere off the road.

It’s always important to share our identity with neighbours…




 Sometimes (mmm), Max even does a bit of homework...
…though he much prefers work of the manual labour kind (really!)
 Supper, mostly cooked by Mands, though occasionally helped by her menfolk...

…helped along greatly by some very good micro-brewed Canadian beer
After supper, every evening, we have a Read Aloud. Our current book is the last in the Alex Rider series; gripping stuff!
Then, of course, someone has to do the washing up - but do not be taken in by this particular picture…
…more often than not, it gets done by Gus!
A little more story before bed. But as we travel further North, it ain’t dark at bedtime anymore!
