The Princes Street Park has wonderful pathways and the steep staircase leads you to the end or the beginning of the Royal Mile in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Many cemeteries in the UK are places to walk, sit and enjoy the view. This one in Edinburgh was located behind the St. John’s Scottish Episcopal Church. Nestled among the tombstones are places to sit and enjoy a great cup of coffee from the cafe inside the church.

…and my husband pointed out that we’ve around for over half of them
I attended the University of Guelph from 1971-75 and I met my husband Kevin there in 1973. College Royal is the annual open house that the university hosts in March. Many of the departments open their doors with displays and interactive demonstrations that highlight some of the work that goes on in the halls of academia.
One of the more popular attractions is the farming area that bring the public and farm animals together. The University of Guelph started out as an agricultural school but quickly brought in other avenues of study, such as Family Studies, veterinary studies, economics, hotel and food administration, visual arts, sciences, just to name a few.









The last two photos show the cow that has had a portal surgically placed in her side to remove rumen from one of her stomachs. The rumen has healthy bacteria that is needed for some sick cows to regulate their own gut bacteria. It may seem cruel but the cow doesn’t seem to feel a thing when the demonstrator went in with her arm to fetch some of her good gut bacteria.
It was a beautiful day after the snow and rain stopped and we were able to walk around the campus to take in some of the sites.







One of our last stops before going to the dog show was checking out the community art show. I had entered four of my pieces, just for fun, and was most delighted when I found a white third place ribbon on one of my pieces.



At the beginning of this piece I mentioned that we’ve lived through more than 50 College Royals. We certainly haven’t attended that many but over the years we participated in quite a few. When the kids were little we took them there a couple of times and we went back when Andrea our eldest daughter attended the university and now our granddaughters are studying there and we’ve shown them around on at least two occasions.

Last summer, when we were in Calgary we dropped by an outdoor car show.
