Taking a break

It’s time for us to unwind, slow down, and embrace a change of scenery. My wife and I are heading to our cottage in central Canada for the summer season, where we plan to relax, read good books, indulge in fishing, swimming, and hiking, and share stories with friends and neighbors while savoring a glass (or two) of wine.

Even though many of my blog articles have been written well ahead of the summer months, there will be no interruption in posts throughout this period. I will continue to maintain a consistent output of two articles a week.

Just as Dean Martin used to say at the end of his TV variety show, “Keep those cards and letters coming!” While there might be a slight delay in responding to your email inquiries or blog post comments, please rest assured that your questions about your clock or comments on any of my posts are significant to me and will be addressed.

As we explore central Canada, I anticipate stumbling upon fascinating clocks in antique stores, flea markets, and other unique shops. Alongside documenting new clock stories, I’ll also face fresh repair challenges and perhaps undertake the next major restoration project during my summer journey.

Additionally, I’m excited to revisit The Canadian Clock Museum in Deep River, Ontario, where I’ll discover new and captivating clocks added to their collection and engage in conversations with curator Allan Symons.
