One of my early January tasks is to arrange for the printing (hard copy) of my blog posts from the previous year. This is usually undertaken by Integrity Printing, Bridgetown. Unfortunately, they closed down in 2025.
Instead, I contacted Digby Print and Promo. It seems like years since we made the run to Digby.
They will produce for me, Volume 10 – 2025. This gives me ten years of hard copy. Time, again, to consider a review of the underlying themes.
On our return journey, we stopped at Endless Shores in Bridgetown. I wanted to see if they still sell Rural Delivery.
2026 is the fiftieth year of this publication by Dirk van Loon. The reason for my interest is that John Wightman had loaned me Volumes 50 #5 and 50 #6. No luck ! Time to consider a subscription renewal.
At Endless Shores, I did find a copy of Thoreau’s “Canoeing in the Wilderness“.
He recorded his travels in The Maine Woods (1864), the latter half of which was to be split into a separate book; ‘Canoeing in the Wilderness’.
I had not realized that Thoreau born in 1817 in Concord, Massachusetts. He died in 1862. Aged 45 years.
Time to consider this Summer, Canoeing in the Wilderness in the Nova Scotia Woods.
