Chas --Hooisma. Prop,
Left April 1,st;To Spend Year Abroad
s Jet Aqe British isle 'Gypsies' `
Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Pritchard
of Toronto left .the first ' of 'the
month to , spend a year-- abroad as
"jet age gypsies." They will travel,
and live in a self-propelled trail-
er, parking for longer Or shorter
periods in the . caravan camps
scattered across Great Britain, to
see as much , as possible of ' the
unspoiled ; beauty of The Isles, ' in
close ,touch with 2000 ' Years sof
history and English literature.
Mr. Pritchard is :a , native of
Goderich. , Mrs. Pritchard is the
former ,. Margaret Pentland, and
was born and raised on 'the farm
north. 'of Dungannon, .. now.: owned
by. her youngest brother, Wilfred
Pentland, ,who has the .crown deed
of .. this farm taken up , by . his
grandfather in 1845 for the ' sum of
40 pounds.
Mr,' and. Mrs. Pritchard have
travelled; widely in the past,, and
she, . wrote frequently ' of • their 'tra-
vels under the ' pseudonym' "The
Country Mouse:'' This w:as ' a 'term
she was affectionately, called' ' at
one, time by a city cousin.
"The Country Mouse" •plans :to-•
write periodically of their cur-
rent travels and ' the first article
writing from New York follows:
Dear. • Friends= •
Now what. ,should . '1 toll . ,you
about today? What soundsa bit
like Christopher. 'Robin after,his
day of wheezles and. sneezles hen
lie said,. "Now how to amuse them
today!" .
I suppose . I. should •, `say first of
all: that after months and years
of talking and planning (and sav-
ing) we . began a trip today, 'which
we hope will go on and on' and.
on.
Our kind' neighbour on the left
took us to the station and we' had
a pleasant: train trip to New York.
It is several years,: since I 'have'
gone from Toronto to the Niagara
area by train and I could ' hardly
believe my eyes. I knew our ".or-
chard and :-garden. . lands weredis-
appearing' but I didn'trealize how
fast. I know ' people must have a
place . to : livebut they must also.
'eat' to 'live, and one of . my ' pet
beefs and worries at the moment
isthe way. industry and housing
are encroaching, ori that wonder-
fully, fertile area around. Lake On-
tario. •
It was a beautfiul looking spring.
day but there was a.: bite in the
air. f looked for" signs of spring
but there werenot too . many. Of
course there are no leaves • out
yet brit'the dogwood and willow
bark in their red and'.yellow were
brilliant• against. the 'dull earth..I•
saw an odd bulge • in .a tree which
I, recognized as an owl when we
got close. .There were a few ' red
winged blackbirds and some wild.
ducks and a_.crane—orb.itter-n—fly
ing along. '
• As we left Oakville, I noticed a
very reddish . tinge to the soil and
this continued until we had reach-
ed the top of the escarpment, It
always. fascinates me, that old
Niagara escarpment when it looms
up •on the. horizon. At one spot I
,,
kept thinking of the gorgeous view
from the -top of it• over a good
part of Halton County. Today. we
saw it in reverse . flat level
country close by, tumbled glacial`
depqsits farther' away and that
great high ridge . against the sky,
Then there were the apple or-
chards-.-- some
r-chards ,,-=,_:some -of themseverely
pruned and some . with thousands
of fingers pointing skywards. Lat-
er, . on the flats below • us, there
were miles of vineyards. There
really' some of the :fruit belt
still in 'production:
1' am always intrigued , with the
appearance of bridges from be-
low. As .we turned and twisted
around the .`west end ' of Lake On-
tario, 1 saw several with 'massive
wooden beams. The bridges I like
best are 'those steel ones . which
make such intricate geometricpat-
tern., And then there arehugh
modern concrete, ones, very fuse-
tional but not very romantic.
After Fort Erie & the Niagara•
River, ` my seasick . pill got the
better•. of .me and; I spent the rest
of the day in a drowsy state, but.
I was awake enough to enjoy the
scenery through the mountains of
New York State and also. the Mo-
hawk . Valley.
Sincerely,
The Country. Mouse
