Grand Trunk Rail Trail in St. Marys

Sunday morning dawned a lot brighter than Saturday with its rain, winds and thunderstorms which caused concern as I had booked a flight in a microlight aircraft in the late afternoon.

To while away the time, we drove out to a small village nearby called St Marys

for a walk along what used to be a railway track, now converted into a walking path. I had visited the same path on New Year's day in the winter of 2008. That walk was the first I had done outside in the winter in Canada.

This time all the trees surrounding the path were covered in their green leaves and down the side of the bank was a herd of cows grazing on the flood plain of the Thames River. The river was much fuller this time too.
