Day 10 – The Collector’s Item. Rather than attempt to redo the whole blog (I do have to get some cycling in, after all), instead I thought I’d do a sort of speed dating version, just pics and the odd comment
So, I left Brant and Dagmars’ early…
I raced a taxi-ing private jet at Kelowna airport, using FOTB Rob Yeoman’s personal mantra. Result. I can’t repeat it or it would lose its power. Eh, Rob?
I had two coffees and “health cookie” (Rodeo?) in this lovely spot in Vernon
Stopped at this insane “Log Barn”….
…where a goat waited patiently high in the air until you’d put seed in his cup, then he wheeled it up and ate it.
Saw this fine barn, which I think Stewart should paint, what with his vernacular inclinations.
Cycled for miles with the sweet smell of cut grass.
Ate alfresco by Mara Lake, and discovered/invented apricot and peanut butter bagels
Found Out what happens if you put frozen apple muffins (thanks Dagmar)…..
In your back pocket on a hot day. They bake! Delicious.
The record so far for largest towed vehicle seen on this trip. A Jeep.
And lastly, a preview of Day 11, where a rainstorm has delayed my leaving. See you later! Bx
More beautiful landscapes – especially the hay
And is it a real goat?

Yes, and I filmed them but it was uploading films than caused the site to crash so we’ll have to wait til I get back: I’m planning a 3 month long photos evening (aaaaaaaargggggh!)

Love the barn, Ben – great color and tilt. The gambrel roof always makes me think of that Emily Dickinson poem that has the line ‘and for an everlasting roof/ The gambrels of the sky’. Lots more beautiful barns to come once you hit the Prairies.
So nice to see your photos. Keep up the good work!
