Bobby Burns Supper

Last night four Juno members joined Vimy and various other guests at "Tea Cup's" Bobby Burns Dinner. What a feast it was,Cock - a - Leekie Soup, Mince and Tatties, Haggis and Neeps, Sausage Rolls Etc., Trifle - Sultana Cake - Shortbread. I have never had haggis before, but will have haggis again!

Thanks to Helen "Tea Cup" for a job well done.

Its been a long week!

Its been a long week! It seems that all too often we line that stretch of the Highway of Heroes know as repat row. On Tuesday Sgt John Faught returned home after giving his all and Friday, two RCMP, Supt. Doug Coates and Sgt. Mark Gallagher returned home from Hati. Two solemn days, one week, three heroes return home.


May they all rest in peace.

Juno can't wait any longer for spring!

When I woke up today it was 1 deg C outside, yesterday when we talked about going for a ride it seemed like a good idea, but 1 degree? I sent the the text off "..are we going?", "Yep" comes the reply. Guess I'd better get ready, when we did this on December 31st, the last possible ride of the year, there was two of us, on January 1st, the 1st possible ride of the year, our group grew to 3. When I showed up at Tim Hortons in Trenton today there were 4 bikes waiting for me, 5 bikers crazy enough to go riding in January!

The air was brisk as it burned my face riding down Hwy 33 to Picton, a bit of a stop there at, where else, Tim Hortons for a coffee and hot chocolate. Then heading to Belleville and back to Trenton. About a 130km trip, well worth the effort of getting dressed and washing my bike (during the next warm spell). The next time we ride, who knows, maybe more riders will show and join in on the fun!

Its been a few days and I have defrosted, the day was last Sunday and it was a bitter day, not just the cold but the 5 coffins that arrived at 8th Wing Trenton made it a rough start to 2010. They arrived to start their journey down the Highway Of Heroes, 4 soldiers and a reporter, 5 heroes. May their journey be uneventful and may they all rest in peace.
