Jill Browne, from home and away

Away on a whirlwind trip.

Clue: Famous First World War flying ace is a big name in aviation around here.

Away: Guelph and Owen Sound, Ontario, Canada

The drive from Guelph north on Highway 6 always makes me feel like I’m heading up there to make my own clearing in the Queen’s Woods.

Nellie McClung was born along this road. There are still two or three of what I take to be original cabins. Please don’t tell me they’re only repros.

Home: Calgary, Alberta, Canada
and
Away: Guelph, Ontario, Canada

My first trip of the year!

Guilt: flying so far for such a short trip.
Guilt: leaving home when I really shouldn’t.

OK, that’s over with.

The in-plane experience was OK, crowded but OK. Usually I’m lucky and get on flights that are less than full, but this one wasn’t.

I can’t report any big travel experiences from today. I got safely from A to B and when I got to B, I went to bed!

I’d love to regale you with tales of Guelph, which is really a beautiful and historic city, but that will be a story, or many stories, for other days.
