Canada Road 2

Aug 19 23

Between Goderich and Kingcardine,Lake Huron

Ontario

Sunset 30 minutes ago

Today I made blueberry pancakes with fresh blueberries in them and then drove to a park in Kincardine.  The drive is along wide roads with fields of good crops either side of the road as far as the eye can see.  There are potatoes, corn, lots of corn, and other crops that I can’t identify but everywhere greenness and food grown to eat. 

Then there are the old farmhouses dotted about, with wonderful verandahs all around the house and gables, and balconies, beautiful in their own serene way.  There’s tractors in driveways and barns, and far away the glow up to the sky of the lake, Huron, so wide it looks like a sea, as far as you can see there is water meeting the horizon.  There is a wideness and  sky and a clearness. 

Tonight, somehow I missed the sunset.  Earlier the sun was crystal clear on the water, silver to the shore and clear.  And I thought, it will be a great sunset tonight, I must go out and see it set. 

Then next time I turned around, the sun had disappeared completely under a blanket of soft mist so that there was no sun, no sliver of moon, no horizon, or lake, just a sort of softness out there and it had gone and I had missed it.  So, we sat and chatted a bit quietly and sort of melted away.

On May 2nd 1779 John Galt the Scottish novelist, was born in Greenock.

Galt was the son of a ship’s captain involved in trade to the West Indies. Sickly as a child, Galt was at first schooled at home, later attending grammar school at Irvine.

In 1789, the family moved to Greenock in Renfrewshire when Galt’s father became a ship-owner and in 1796 John began work as a clerk for a local firm. In 1803 and 1804 he found some published success as a poet when the Scots Magazine published part of his epic poem, ‘The Battle of Largs’. The poem was published in full in 1804, around the time its author moved to London in an attempt to become a businessman. In 1807 his article, ‘A Statistical Account of Upper Canada’, was published in The Philosophical Magazine, and in 1808 his main business partnership was declared bankrupt, though without Galt suffering liabilities.

In 1809 he studied law for a few months, entering Lincoln’s Inn, but then decided to travel around the Mediterranean where he met Lord Byron. In 1811, back in London, he published two volumes of his travels and a biography of Cardinal Wolsey, and became editor of the Political Review. In 1813 Galt married Elizabeth Tilloch and also published a sequel to his Mediterranean travels, Letters from the Levant. In 1814 he became editor of The New British Theatre and the following year gave up this position to become Secretary of the Royal Caledonian Asylum, a charity established by the Highland Society in London. In 1816, Galt published The Life and Studies of Benjamin West, a biography of the American painter who became President of the Royal Academy. In 1818 his tragedy, The Appeal, was staged in Edinburgh with a verse epilogue by Sir Walter Scott. Back in London in 1819, Galt began lobbying Parliament for the Edinburgh and Glasgow Union Canal Company, though this first attempt failed. He also turned his hand to writing school textbooks under various pseudonyms. The following year his parliamentary efforts were successful and he was given a substantial reward by the canal company.

In 1821 The Ayrshire Legatees was published in monthly parts in the famous Blackwood’s Magazine, and in the same year Galt was engaged by a group of businessmen from Upper Canada, attracted by his lobbying reputation, to assist them in obtaining compensation from the government for losses sustained in the War of 1812.

Galt was a prime mover in founding the Canada Company whose Secretary he became; in 1825, he was one of five government commissioners sent to Canada on a fact-finding mission. Later that same year, Galt was granted the freedom of Irvine. In 1826, he was appointed superintendent of the Canada Company. He travelled via New York to the areas around modern Ontario including Toronto. In 1827 Galt established the towns of Guelph and Goderich but in 1829 he was recalled to London, dismissed from the Canada Company in June, committed to King’s Bench Prison for debt in July, and discharged in November.

Galt’s methods were subsequently vindicated because the Canada Company, following the patterns he had established, made profits from the 1830s until it was wound up in the 1950s. He was a good community builder but he laboured with little help, he alienated the reactionary establishment of Upper Canada and he failed to impress on his directors that the profits would accrue in the medium to long term.

In 1830, he wrote The Life of Lord Byron, who was a good friend, he also briefly became editor of The Courier, a London evening newspaper. In 1831, Bogle Corbet was published and Galt played an instrumental role in forming the British American Land Company (to do in Lower Canada what the Canada Company was doing in Upper Canada) and appointed its Secretary.

In 1832 Galt suffered the first of a series of strokes and in 1833 he published his Autobiography the following year he retired to Greenock where he lived quietly but continued to write articles, short stories, novellas and poems.

John Galt published over 70 fullworks of literature as well as many more serialised and shorter stories in publications, he died on 11 April 1839. He was buried with his parents in the New Burying Ground in Greenock (now called the Old Burying Ground).

His legacies include the city of Galt in Ontario, Canada, now part of Cambridge, named in his honour, in his home town of Greenock he is commemorated by the John Galt memorial fountain on the Esplanade, by a plaque at the old cemetery where he is buried and sheltered housing built next to the cemetery in 1988, on the site of the old Royal Hospital, is named John Galt House. In Edinburgh's old town he has a slab in Makars Court near the Writers Museum and in Guelph, Canada a historical plaque commemorates his role with the Canada Company in populating the Huron Tract, calling it "the most important single attempt at settlement in Canadian history"

This 'Musings' episode, you could consider as two parts. In the first half we talk about David Tennant and Cush Jumbo in the Donmar Warehouse production of Macbeth, which we saw on film. This leads into a discussion of community theater, and we mention a few productions. Two are from the Goderich Little Theatre at The Livery in Goderich, Ontario: Elizabeth Rex and The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane. One was from the Caledon Townhall Players in Caledon, Ontario: The Wild Women of Winedale. Then, in the second half of the podcast, we talk about our impression of the Doctor Who Series 15 trailer, as well as the trailer of Andor Season 2. We are super excited about the summer months watching both of these productions. Look for more Doctor Who and Star Wars from this podcast in the coming months.

A Day Inside

Today was Valentine’s Day. It started out right at the freezing mark and managed to reach 43 degrees in the afternoon, and while there was some light sprinkling, much of the day passed without precipitation. At one point some blue sky managed to show through, as did the sunshine.

Nancy and I spent the entire day at home, celebrating by just being together. No cards, no flowers. But we did have some chocolate… brownies!

My blood sugar was at 170 on the first check today. It went up even higher on the second and third checks. Not sure what causes that.

After coffee and brain games, Nancy and I had oatmeal for breakfast, with the raisins we bought yesterday. It added a nice fruity touch.

I spent the rest of the morning reading the new J.A. Jance book. Nancy played her piano for a while and did some reorganizing of some of her art supplies.

After putting on a pot of pinto beans that we planned to have for dinner, we also made a batch of brownies.

About 12:30 p.m. we had a lunch of sandwiches and potato chips.

After lunch we finally showered and dressed. Then we took a brief nap. Followed by our first taste of the brownies. They were quite tasty!

I spent much of the afternoon still reading the J.A. Jance book. I finally had to stop in order to recharge the iPad when it got down to 10% power. An hour or so later it had enough juice to allow me to finish the book. Now I’ll have to go in search of something else to read.

Nancy also tried a glass of the Pinot Gris she bought at King Estate on Wednesday. It was part of a special small batch that’s fermented and aged in concrete vessels. She was quite impressed.

For dinner we warmed up the pot of beans, heated up some leftover rice, and made a small salad. We stirred salsa and shredded cheese in with the beans and rice, and Nancy threw some guacamole in hers. For dessert we had another nice chunk of brownie.

Tonight’s streaming started with the latest episodes of “Matlock” and “Elsbeth,” and we followed that with two episodes from “Still Standing,” featuring visits by Jonny Harris to the Oneida Nation of the Thames and Goderich, Ontario. The Oneida people were hard at work reclaiming the economic, cultural, and spiritual practices that were banned by government policies over the past 100 years. The residents of Goderich, known as “Canada’s prettiest town,” worked hard to restore the town after much of it was destroyed by a devastating tornado in 2011.

Tomorrow’s forecast calls for a low of 35 and a high of 49, but rain will once again stay away until the evening. Of course, the actual weather for the day will change faster than the app can keep up with it. We might even try to get out of the house.

THIS BOAT. She's called "Fuji", she's parked in the Marina right off the main thoroughfare. She looks to me like she's a Gozzard. If she is, then she's traveled all the way from Goderich Ontario on Lake Huron to Hokkaido Japan.

If anyone can correct me and let me know the actual provenance of this boat I would be very interested. Maybe there are other shipbuilders that have a similar style?

Lake Huron

Great Lakes

Ontario

Sunset in 30 minutes

In about thirty minutes the sun will set says Uncle, he should know he’s been coming here since he was a kid and his Grandad built this cottage on the lakeside.  It’s been here a while, so its in one of the best spots, set right into the lakeside and staring smack due West. 

So at this time of the evening the water turns rosy and mauve, the sky is sorta gold.  Theres only trees to be seen, not many people.

It took hours to get here.  There was the day flight from Heathrow, which is now sized for giants not for humans of five or six feet but giants that are several times higher maybe twenty feet it is definitely made to feel huge. 

The flight in a Jumbo was smooth and over awing as it took off like an elephant, huge, slow and mighty.  A ship of the sky.  We are fed quickly and adequately and given drinks again and again.  There had been free magazines and newspapers in the airport, with pictures of beautiful people, but I soon discovered the NFB, National Film Board, channel and watched Canadian films to my heart content, discovering again. 

There was arriving again at Toronto airport and re-entering the country again after a long absence, then all the formalities and a shuttle to a bed for the night before beginning the long drive through Canadian country to get to the shores of Lake Huron and the sweetest cottage built of wood roof, floor, and walls.  It’s like living in a forest and breathing wood.

We watch the sunsets at night.
