Fox Run

Fox Run is a retirement home, and every year they sponsor a get-together of the 'Boot n' Bonnet' British Car Club. They very kindly provide the venue and a free lunch, and in exchange the home residents can have the opportunity to come out and see the cars and meet the club.

Beautiful day for the half-hour drive. We were the first there, and could pick our spot. Chose next to the shade tent, obviously! Land Rover resplendant in her wrinkles.

Settled in.

Beautiful location overlooking the St.Lawrence River and the islands of 1000 Island region.

Comfy place to sit.


Something for everyone. A relatively small gathering, but a very good selection.

A Land Rover in good company.

30,000 Pageviews

In the world of the internet, 30,000 pageviews on a blog is not a big thing (my daughter's favourite Gummy Bear video on YouTube has presently, for example, over 218 million hits), but I think for this little Land Rover Series 2 blog that's not bad, and was a pleasant thing to discover. Hopefully the restoration part is being useful somewhere. And so, whoever you are, thanks for being the 30,000th!

Enjoying Summer

A photo by my daughter, showing that even tall people fit extremely well into a Land Rover. : ) Hot, overcast day, windows and vents open for the breeze, small drops of rain on the windshield, leather-covering on the steering wheel under one hand, gear shift knob under the other, and other folks out having a good time. Just a nice moment.
