Winter holiday.

Pickle and Pearl are, once again, on the move. They have long indicated that they are not too enamoured of Ottawa's cold weather ('guide' - neither am I) so they are taking a vacation to Vancouver Island now that the climate there has returned to near normal. They left a bare patch on the back lawn which I am sure will soon fill up with new snow. The 'guide' will be getting reports and pics. from time to time and will pass them on to the faithful followers of the Ascalonions adventures. I hope this is only a temporary visit out West, they do have this snug retreat in Stittsville Neighbourhoods to come back to. Holiday? From what?
