On Saturday we went to Cambridge where Tom grew up and caught up with Aunt Pat and Tom's cousins. while we were there we wandered around down town Galt and looked at the 'ancient' mill ruins dating back to 1890 (I think, the sign was rather ambiguous), that is 11 years older than the house we lived in in Arnside! Apparently it was a knitting mill, neat, I have visions of lines of hundreds of grannies sitting in water powered rocking chairs knitting fiendishly fast. Here are Jacob and Rose arguing over a sign.
On Sunday we finally got to the Paint Ontario and Tundra Swans exhibits at the local museum. The art was very good and the swans were feeble, the exhibition consisted of a video, a stuffed swan and some craft activities for the kids. Still, the activities took a good half hour and the only trauma was stopping Rose stroking the taxidermy.
