Nestled amid the shimmering waves and sun-drenched cliffs lies Jersey, an enchanting gem of the Channel Islands. Picture charming thatched cottages with their doors painted in vibrant hues, inviting you to step into their warm embrace. The air is imbued with the crisp scent of salt and wildflowers, as the sound of the gentle surf whispers tales of the sea. Cobblestone streets meander through quaint villages, where the laughter of locals mingles with the distant clinking of glasses from cozy bistros serving fresh seafood and fine local wines.

As dusk descends, the sky transforms into a canvas of pastel shades, casting a golden glow on the island's rugged coastlines. Lanterns flicker to life, illuminating the pathways, creating a magical atmosphere that beckons you to explore. Jersey radiates a sense of comfort and familiarity, a place where time slows and every sunset feels like a warm hug from nature itself, inviting you to linger just a little longer.

Canada Day

Have a Canadian cook-out, research the history of this wonderful country, or plan a trip to see first-hand what the vast and diverse place has to offer.

Canada, O Canada! What a great country exists in this world as Canada. Renowned for their politeness, the delicious local food known as poutine, and some of the most forward social and civil liberty laws in the known world. They began their existence in the world as three separate colonies that were all part of the British Empire, and Canada Day celebrates the joining of these three colonies and the creation of the country of Canada within the British Empire. Canada Day reminds us to celebrate this auspicious day and cheer the creation of the most polite country and socially progressive country in the world today!

History of Canada Day

Canada Day celebrates that day in history when the British North America Act (Now called the Constitution Act of 1867) was put into place. This was an important end to a long struggle to get Canada recognized as a separate country from its British parents.

Three colonies were bound together to create what is now recognized as one of the best countries in the world to live in. For a long time it had some issues with its currency not performing well on the world stage, but recently it has risen to prominence and held its own amongst first world countries.

Somehow in keeping with Canada’s reputation for humility, the country didn’t make a big deal out of this event over the next few years. In fact, it took until 1917 before any official celebration of the event was held, and it took a full 10 years for another to be held. In fact, it wasn’t until 1946 that what was then known as ‘Dominion Day’ even became known as Canada Day, and then until 1958, almost a hundred years later, until they started celebrating it yearly with government sanctioned events. Canada has to be the only country in the world that essentially won its independence from its mother country and then went on not to be bothered with making a big deal about it. Honestly, it’s a rather stark contrast to its neighbor to the south.

How to celebrate Canada Day

For most of the world the best way to celebrate Canada Day is to research the history of this rather remarkable country. They have a fair amount of pride in themselves as a country, but don’t resent or rale against the country that is still technically their sovereign. Canada Day is even celebrated in the UK, with large gatherings in Trafalgar Square to celebrate this country’s formation. Canada is an amazing country, and Canada Day is your day to learn more about it!

Of course, if research isn’t your thing, you can always bring a slice of the friendliest country on earth to your home. Get ready to practice your best accents because these ideas will have you saying, “what’s that all aboot?!”

Decorate In traditional colors

Canada’s colors are, of course, red and white. So, lovers of the Great White North can find anything that fits the scheme and incorporate it into their home’s design. The great thing about celebrating Canada Day this way (if you’re not Canadian) is that you don’t have to answer awkward questions.

No that’s not a Canadian flag in your front garden – you’re just digging primary colors at the moment!

Have a Canadian cookout

Cookouts aren’t only synonymous with Canada, but Canada is part of North America, so it counts. Even better, the Canadians have an eclectic mix of foods, some that Americans love (hello maple syrup) and others that aren’t as familiar. This makes for an insanely interesting BBQ with fat-lined bacon on the menu.

The sides are pretty novel, too. Who’s for ketchup- and dill pickle-flavoured chips? No? Okay, well there’s plenty of poutine, butter tarts and Nanaimo bars to go around!

Play Canadian-inspired games

Yes, that means getting physical and replicating some of the Great One’s signature moves. Gretzky hasn’t got anything on you! Variations of hockey aren’t the only sports played in Canada, so don’t worry if you’re not a fan of the NHL. Alternatives include searching for maple trees, making a canoe (and testing whether it floats), and reciting “O Canada.”

Hint – Robert Stanley Weir’s English version has four verses. Bonus points go to anybody who knows them without using Google.

Where to celebrate Canada Day

Well, of course a trip to Canada is an excellent excuse to hit up the Maple Leaf nation during its national holiday.

Ottawa

Montreal will be at the top of everybody’s hit list for obvious reasons. However, Ottawa is the most incredible destination at the beginning of the summer. The nation’s capital hosts free firework displays and concerts, encouraging thousands upon thousands of people to attend.

Parliament Hill is the perfect place to perch and watch the festivities from afar.

Toronto

The next stop is Toronto. Like Ottawa, the activities are free and plentiful, but Toronto has something the capital doesn’t – The Toronto Ribfest. Tons of ribs are transported to the city and grilled within an inch of their lives.

Meat-lovers take note because there aren’t better culinary delights found in the Deep South. Yes, that’s how good they are.

Vancouver

British Columbia does things a little differently, and Canada Day is no exception. The events are fishing-themed, the shows are full of lumberjacks, and it all takes place on the waterfront. It is possible to say more, but is it necessary?

No, we didn’t think so, either.

Jersey, C.I.

[venturavista]

This is probably one of the most underrated National Parks in the United States. Getting here can be a challenge but well worth it for the avid adventurer seeking new experiences. The park consists of 5 islands and many islets ranging from small landmasses to large islands with complex eco systems, endemic species, and abundant sea life above and below the water.

Marlborough Sounds Mail Cruise

Today, I went about 30 minutes up the road to Picton to go on a mail run in the Marlborough Sounds. In the north of the south island, the road stops at Waikawa, just past Picton, so anyone who lives past there has to access their property by boat. The mail gets delivered to them every few days, and people like me get to tag along. Most of the property out that way would likely be a secondary home or bach that would get more use in the summer, but there are some yearlong residents as well.

Started off in Picton Harbour for some lunch and a soak in the sunshine ☀️

Then, onto the boat for the mail cruise. We cruised through the Tory Channel and Queen Charlotte Sound.

A while back, farmers used to farm on some of the sounds, but when the costs started getting to high, many moved off the sounds into town. Because they couldn't get a profit for the land, there was a forestry initiative to plant pine trees. The thing about pines is once you plant them, they just keep spreading. And when the pine needles fall, the soil becomes too acidic to allow much of anything else to grow. So now, they're trying to reduce the pine population. One of the ways they did that from the outset of the initiative was to fly over the sounds in a helicopter and shoot the pine trees with poisoned bullets to kill them. Once that was deemed unsafe, they now poison the trees by hand in sections, so there are a lot of dead pines out there! But, where they have now died, other native plants are growing in their place.

Here are some more pics! Not much more to say, except that it was a lovely day on the water 🌊

^^thought the parents would like this one! It's at a swanky holiday home owned by this big real estate company in Auckland called the Lazy Fish where (according to the skipper) they send employees to "pretend to take meetings and drink wine."

Oak Island update: the real treasure was the friends we made along the way

NOVA SCOTIA, Canada – The legendary Oak Island treasure has been found! But if you were hoping for a treasure trove of gold, silver, and jewels, you’ll probably be disappointed. But for the island’s current residents, the real treasure is something far more valuable: the friends they made along the way. “Do I still think there’s buried treasure on Oak Island? Of course I do,” said Rick Lagina,…
