It was so nice to get back into our traditional Ma It was so nice to get back into our traditional May long weekend adventures to the Stratford Festival again. 🎭

We opted to attend two show this year and both of them were fabulous!

On Friday we saw RENT and the cast and production are incredible!  The audience was on their feet in a standing ovation before the last notes had finished!  We have Seasons of Love stuck in our heads… 

🎼“Five hundred twenty-five thousand, six hundred minutes 🎼
How do you measure, measure a year?” 🎶

And now for something completely different… 

On Saturday we silly walked into see Spamalot!  The hilarity of Monty Python plays out perfectly on stage.  The crowd, and cast, were in stitches of laughter throughout the show!

We are so grateful to have this amazing powerhouse of theatre so close to where we live.

@stratfest you never disappoint! ❤️

When in Stratford, you have to hit the chocolate s When in Stratford, you have to hit the chocolate shops!  It's hard to choose just one as there are so many fabulous shops.

@chocolate_barrs_candies was our choice this weekend and their sweets never disappoint. 

That said, I'm not so sure I want the “tractor” 😆

First weekend out with the “Cottage” and we ha First weekend out with the “Cottage” and we have been dealing with a temperamental tongue jack! 😖

Arriving at the storage yard the jack gave a “click” and nothing more when trying to lower itto connect on the truck. So I took the cowl off to manually lower it on.  Frustrated, but happy to be on the move...

Then we get to the park expecting to manually lift the trailer from the tuck and it worked!

So, the long weekend began with some frustration but worked out. 

This Jack stand is clearly on it's last legs!

We have LOADS of wild rabbits around our area and as a result lots of hawks and coyotes as well. 

Brave bunnies need to be cautious bunnies!

I spent the week “mooch-docking” at our friend I spent the week “mooch-docking” at our friends house this week up in Wasaga Beach. 

The trailer just got into the little driveway perfectly! 

It’s always great to have the ability to “live and work” from the comfort of the RV. 

Work is done for the week so it’s time to head back home again. 

I battled a few dewinterizing issues but managed to get them sorted out.  That said, our power roof vent remote seems to have stopped working. 

There is always something to fix on an RV! 🛠️

Last night, I took a walk down to the beach to enjoy and sounds of waves crashing and the view. 

Not my best photos ever, but I grabbed a few before the rain started to come down! 🌧️ 

I’m super grateful we have a big warm comforter to use at night I’ll tell ya!  I love sleeping in the cool air and being toasty warm under my blankets!

    February 21, 2021 /

    If you’re having a hard time booking a campsite for the 2021 camping season, you’re not alone.
