We decided to take a helicopter ride over Woodstock and the surrounding countryside before Gill and Ken left. At the bottom of the post you can see some of the photographs that were taken. Gill and Ken also used our bicycles to explore Woodstock and as you can see Gill found a comfortable spot in the park and decided to have a snooze with the ducks.
Below is the rotunda in Southside Park, which is looking great at the moment. The flowers should last a while longer but autumn is in the air. When we went north to the cottage the leaves were beginning to change so it should not be too long before it happens here.
Before Gill and Ken left we took them to the Charles Dickens pub for lunch. This is Paul's favorite watering hole.
One of the many golf clubs that are in the local area. Great shot from the air.
Above is one of the many farming complexes that are common around Woodstock. The round shape on the extreme left is a liquid manure pit which is emptied onto the fields and makes great fertiliser. Not so long ago a farmer drowned in one like this.
Below is St Michael's, the school which Wayne teaches at and below that is a shot of a housing development which shows the various stages of building which occurs over here. These developments are becoming increasingly popular and are springing up everywhere.
We had a great 10 days which were pretty busy and we hope that Gill and Ken enjoyed themselves. We put them on a plane on Friday for Paris where they are to spend 4 nights before visiting Jo in Singapore. I am now at the end of this series of posts and I am thoroughly sick of the whole process so don't expect anything else for a while. We are back at school on Tuesday so we will be busy. Thank God for this past Canadian summer, we had a wonderful time and we met some unforgettable people.
