LAKE HURON
In about thirty minutes the sun will set says Uncle, he should know he’s been coming here since he was a kid and his Grandad built this cottage on the lakeside. It’s been here a while, so its in one of the best spots, set right into the lakeside and staring smack due West.
So at this time of the evening the water turns rosy and mauve, the sky is sorta gold. Theres only trees to be seen, not many people.
It took hours to get here. There was the day flight from Heathrow, which is now sized for giants not for humans of five or six feet but giants that are several times higher maybe twenty feet it is definitely made to feel huge.
TRAVEL TO COTTAGE COUNTRY
The flight in a Jumbo was smooth and over awing as it took off like an elephant, huge, slow and mighty. A ship of the sky. We are fed quickly and adequately and given drinks again and again. There had been free magazines and newspapers in the airport, with pictures of beautiful people, but I soon discovered the NFB, National Film Board, channel and watched Canadian films to my heart content, discovering again.
ARRIVING IN COTTAGE COUNTRY
There was arriving again at Toronto airport and re-entering the country again after a long absence, then all the formalities and a shuttle to a bed for the night before beginning the long drive through Canadian country to get to the shores of Lake Huron and the sweetest cottage built of wood roof, floor, and walls. It’s like living in a forest and breathing wood.
We watch the sunsets at night.
