Today grandad told me a secret he’d been keeping from me. We were to meet up with his cousin Ken and Doreen and grandchildren over here from Newfoundland.

We met up at 11am and spent all day with them until 9 pm.

First we went to Two Rivers Wildlife Park and saw lots of animals and some we don’t we don’t see in Europe. Skunk, mink black bear, red fox, artic fox , red deer, owls , bald eagles, peacocks and some very different colours from ours. Porcupine, wolves, wild cats,

.There was also a pets farm and wagon rides with horses. We had a good time there, although we thought the animals could be better looked after!

Next we went to the annual strawberry teas at a church hall in a nearby town of Marion. I had an enormous bowl full of strawberries and there were BRETON cakes of all varieties.

Doreen’s sister Sharon was there and we were invited back to her house for supper. Her husband Millet, had been busy barbecuing salmon over cedar wood that he had been preparing all afternoon. He had been a grand master in the Masons and showed us his medal.

All in all we had a lovely day and here are a few pics I took on my iPad xxx
