I am also a part of a fabulous group that recuses cats and find loving homes for them. Given that, I always take time to to visit with Sue, who runs the The Manx Cat Sanctuary. It is always so heart warming to see these abandoned and mistreated cats live a pampered life with plenty of food, comfy beds and tons of love. Sue opens her doors to visitors twice a week and there is never a shortage of loving hands ready to stroke and cuddle them.

At a regular track event, spectators would not be allowed to walk around the paddock area to see all the 'behind the scenes action', but it is different here. They welcome the fans to walk around and get close and personal with the race teams!

The first week of the Manx Grand Prix (MGP), is all about practice. The riders are grouped by class, then take off one by one down Bray Hill (the start/finish line) and speed around the course, getting in as many laps as the time will allow.</p><p>One of our favourite spots to watch is called Ballacrane, where the riders speed along a straightaway, then have to make a sharp right hand turn to start heading north. It is very exhilarating to watch the riders lean their bikes over to make the turn. I still can't believe that they don't tumble over for that maneuver.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxkgLIh3KQKccbpE45p25WJwodReIDNcPV6HTG4BuOvmRbPTbv0mjXz50K55QiryF4F8YJOd8KWrplAhSfTdgryre6kioa8AeYETgJcGGz1tLMX04rbCqmnJ9R29qc5EQ6AUIPVV8SKlUbzPXXDrr-ZXPryqn2g1F07-FJMWnvkBj8sQ3AcPMACA/s6000/DSC_0069.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

With much anticipation, we dove to Toronto to catch our flight to Manchester. We had forgotten all the hassle that goes with airport nonsense: long lines, security checks and pat downs. We anticipated getting fed on the plane, so didn't have anything to eat at the airport. After several delays, (missing Co-Pilot), we broke down and bought a bag of chips and a coke as all the restaurants were closed!! We treated ourselves to Business Class, so anticipated that the meal would be an improvement over what was being served in Economy. No such luck.....dried out chicken with a sauce that had no taste. At least the wine was acceptable! </p><p>I think that one of the worst airports I have ever been at is Manchester. We all trotted off to the baggage claim and waited for our luggage, and waited, and waited.......2.5 hours!!!!! The company who was hired to unload the plane didn't show up!! All I can say is that I am glad we had a 5 hour window before catching the plane to the Island!!! We had to change terminals....so back to all the security checks, yet again. I never seem to make it through Manchester without getting pulled over for something. This time it was the little welcome kits you get in Business...yup, it had an extremely small tube of toothpaste. I should be ashamed of myself for trying to pull that one over the security guards!!</p><p>We finally arrived and was picked up at the airport by the lovely hostess of the Air BnB, that we had to spend one night at. The local pub just down the road from them stopped serving food due to Covid, so she kindly drove us to the next village to get some dinner! </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd1aE-hvE5l3Apctb8O4uBKJEfdjf0cu02h2V7uJACGMSmE0jauJL0mhDwbbnEukO6pwT1FPHyjIGqRZ5f70o5qsNpGhZj1IpKwZJfwF-NU6ib4jaa5oCoHpqZ8jRiWyUVLZVoVX8j4fCSLLj1d5ipdXgp0bdiUK5z2UxBiYvOuAr9CHuzN5pQmw/s4672/P_20220820_194141.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

When we moved to our 25 acre property years ago,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it came with a variety of topography. The property was originally part of a large farm and our acreage is where the cows used to graze. Behind the house is the largest plot with approximately 20 acres of forest and wetlands. The house and lawn itself sits on 2 acres and to the west is a 3 acre field where hay grows.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As we are not actively farming, we decided to give back to the community and have offered the field to a local farm just north of us. Each year, the farmer dutifully comes at the end of August to cut and bail the hay, which at that point has many weeds in it. The farmer is at the stage where he is starting to enjoy his retirement, so has passed the reigns on to his grandson. Most farmers try to get 2 cuttings from their fields, so this year was a First for us, as all the equipment rolled down our driveway yesterday!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was a 'tandem team'...one tractor cutting and the other bailing. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was a graceful coordinated effort!</div>

During this time of social distancing and self isolation, my trip to France to visit my sister was cancelled. Having video chats with her and my nieces only slightly makes up for not seeing them in person.</div>

My husband and I belong to an antique British Car Club. One of our members had been very generous with his time and organized a 'Fall Colour Tour' to <a href="http://www.algonquinpark.on.ca/index.php" target="_blank">Algonquin Provincial Park</a>. It was a meandering car trip, that took 3 days and 2 nights.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are some of the highlights of the trip!</div>

Staying with the theme of our family getting together to celebrate, in 2014, many family members gathered in Montreal for a momentous surprise birthday party for Belinda,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
organized by her daughter, Mackenzie.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After the initial surprise for Belinda by walking into the party, 'surprise' people were brought out to her one by one, which included me and Ken, Trish and her daughter Clementine,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and Nica with her family, Mark & Meredith.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The moment that brought tears to everyone's eyes </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
was when my Dad came into the room!</div>

Still in the old vault, I thought it would be fun to share a momentous event in the Dale family...the 30th wedding anniversary of my sister Trish & her husband Francois.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pretty much the whole family from many countries gathered in the south of France to celebrate.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My paternal grandmother had lived in <a href="https://www.tourisme-aveyron.com/en/discover/najac/discover-najac-touristic-guide-najac" target="_blank">Najac</a>, in the Averyron, where Trish & Francois met, married and still live nearby.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Trish thought it would be the perfect place to have a party, so found a huge house in a nearby village for us to gather.</div>

I decided to dig deep into the vault today</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to share my trip to France from 2006.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That was a long time ago, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I am sure you will agree that we haven't changed a bit!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The fun started with my birthday celebration </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
at my favourite French restaurant, L'Entrecote</div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">During this tough time of self-isolation and uncertainly, I was reminded by my Uncle Andy that since I am not likely to take any trips this year, he missed reading about all my adventures through my blog.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">That gave me an idea....I started looking through all my pictures and though it would be nice to share some of my past adventures. It will be mainly pictorial, so I hope you enjoy taking a walk down memory lane with me.</span></div>
