Une grande soirée
Saturday, 24th September, 2005
Out of town sharp this morning; a bright and clear day with light traffic. We took the route through to Williston and set up outside the library to receive the wireless signal. One or two false starts with competing networks, but then a clear signal for the car park! Check the e-mails and then retreated for waffles and maple syrup in the ‘Old Brick Café’ nearby.
Anne was calling the shots today so our route to Quebec took us along to Stowe and then up to Johnson to a factory outlet woollen mill. One turn around the interior of the store was enough for me … however, a couple of pictures on the walls inside caught my attention. I decided quite early that I would wherever possible, grab some retakes myself along the way in the forthcoming weeks, whether it be from postcards or any other publication or product available. I took a couple of quick snaps and then set off outside to get the angles. Not too difficult to find the locations …
Lunch with the Bad Girls in BadGirls Café, Johnson and then on the road north towards Quebec.
Anne spent most of the rest of the day trying to configure her phone to receive the local networks which was not brilliantly successful and started south of the border and continued north through French operators.
Crossed the border remarkably smoothly through Derby Line and made our way to Pats.
As we have now passed the border in to Canada, we are obliged to offer a bilingual version of events:
E: Unable to contact by cellphone and without response to e-mails we spent a bit of time remembering fragments of directions from years ago … a theatre came in to it, but the crucial point that we turned left at it, eluded the memory.
We eventually asked directions in North Hatley and found the barn tucked away just as the sun was going down. Took a few shots around Ste Catherine de Hatley.
Pat had invited Jane and Vince round for supper who we last met many years ago, (1989) when we were out here for a few weeks with Ben asa very portable 9month old; we had a great evening.
F: Incapable d'entrer en contact par cellphone et sans réponse aux E-mails nous avons passé un peu d'heure se rappelant que les fragments des directions il y a des années... un théâtre sont entrés à lui, mais au point crucial que nous avons tourné à gauche à lui, éludé la mémoire. Nous avons par la suite demandé des directions dans Hatley du nord et avons trouvé la grange rempliée loin juste pendant que le soleil se couchait. A pris quelques projectiles autour de la chambre Catherine. Le tapotement avait invité Jane et Vince ronds pour le dîner; nous avons eu une grande soirée.
Do you like hows its coped with "taking a few shots" ... "quelques projectiles" ... good old google!
