After five days of rain, thankfully the skies turned blue as we set off from Essex Junction in Vermont heading to Glenville, New York where we are now staying.
For most of our journey, we poodled along highway 22A south which is a two-lane road through magnificent countryside, made even more spectacular by the splashes of autumn colour appearing here and there.
One thing is certain, there is absolutely no shortage of trees in Vermont! Mile after mile that’s all you see, oh, and farm dwellings, but glorious trees and tree-lined mountains!
The day was made extra special by my eldest brother face-timing me to let me know that I am now a great-aunt! How neat is that! My nephew, Tom, and his partner, Christine welcomed a baby boy this afternoon. Mother and baby (no name as yet) are both doing well! My first great-nephew. My brother is now a first-time Grandpa and my nephew is a first-time Dad!
What a special week on the calendar this is: My Mum’s birthday was on the 2nd, my brother-in-law’s birthday was on the 3rd and now my great-nephew’s birthday will be on the 5th! Hello October!
Driving down the road with Lake Champlain in the distance!
This was our view for most of our journey! It doesn’t get much better than that!
