The little village of
Pittsford in upstate NY (near Rochester) is our ‘home’ for the final month of our “big adventure”. First settled in 1789, on the banks of the famous Erie Canal, it really is picture perfect. Nestled amongst huge walnut trees (crawling with squirrels and chipmunks!), surrounded by lush green lawns, is Kierans’ 140 year-old ‘cottage’ . The streetscape is very, very American: white wooden houses, big front porches (with rocking chairs/adirondacks/ swinging benches), dark grey roofs/shutters and, of course, the stars and stripes flying proudly. It’s great to be back in the gentle rhythms and routines of home life (i.e. not living out of a suitcase and rushing to catch a plane). Mike is working hard to meet a few deadlines and the boys and I are filling our mornings with schoolwork, cycling along the canal (see pic) and shopping at Wegmans. Yip - food features yet again! Wegman’s is like no other grocery retailer we’ve ever seen – we go there every day (I never thought I would say that!). Kathleen (Cassidy’s mum) has also very generously lent us a car. What a wonderful place to spend our last month!
