Canada

After judging on the weekend in Washington, on Sunday evening I headed for Canada to collect Annica and bring her back to WA to attend the National specialty. My trip through Seattle was easy ( traffic wise) but the wait at the border was about 50 minutes.
Today Annica and I toured Vancouver but it was a bit damp and drizzly however we saw the main things and had great time. Tomorrow we head for Seattle...

Lazy Sunday

What to do on a lovely sunny day? We had read about a local railway line Chelatchie Railway that would be making one of its few runs on Sunday from a town nearby - so of we headed to Yacolt, from where the train makes its run – however when we got there, there were only a handful of people waiting to get on itso we changed our mind - it had been a very pretty drive.
So… plan B.
There are a couple of vineyards in our area (what area these days does not have some?) so we decided to go to the one closes to home – The Rusty Grape – somehow, not the name I would have chosen – not the best mind picture – but nevertheless, it was time to test it.
My goodness what a surprise, they have built a really nice tasting room, and patio where they show movies outside during the summer, and have music concerts occasionally and also hold special events. The wine was nothing outstanding, but overall an enjoyable afternoon.
