HAPPY CANADA DAY

[DILLIGAF]

Hope everyone enjoys a wonderful weekend
It's a beautiful sunny weekend and there's lots to do
Our Maple Leaf flag got shredded by Mother Nature and her strong winds, so the SALTIRE is flying high on Canada Day
I think myself fortunate, to live in such an amazing, diverse, country, and have such a wonderful family and friends
Sending our best from the west coast

I Wis doon the lead hills panning fur gold a couple of weeks ago, got a dredge pump, sluice box, buckets and a couple of pans, for ma Xmas, me and ma maté must have moved about a ton of silt and gravel doon that wee sluice, spent a very enjoyable 6 hrs under the blazing sun, we did find gold……only 4 wee tiny flakes, but did get some, it is there waiting to be found, everybody at ma work wants tae come on the next “expedition” think I’m need tae hire a mini bus

We've just had the 200+ cars from the car show roll past the house
Kerry and Liliana were sitting outside as they rolled past and I saw 'one or two' cars that I quite liked ;-)

We had a great day oot, nice packed lunch, and always the chance to “strike it rich, the largest gold nugget in Britain was found in the lead hills in 2015 incidentally by a Canadian man on holiday, valued at an eye watering £10k

Come on my friends let's make for the hills
They say there's gold and I'm looking for thrills
You can get your hands on whatever we find
'Cause I'm only coming along for the ride
Well you go your way I'll go mine
I don't care if we get there on time
Everybody's searching for something they say
I'll get my kicks on the way
Over the mountains across the sea
Who knows what may be waiting for me
I can sail forever to strange sounding names
Faces of people and places don't change
All I have to do is just close my eyes
To see the seagulls wheeling in those far distant skies
All I wanna tell you all I wanna say
Is count me in on the journey
Don't expect me to stay

Really ?
My cousins have just moved there
Had never heard of the place, and you mention it now
If you want to pan for gold try the Cariboo in the BC interior, that's an amazing place
I drive through several gold mining areas when heading up north
70 Mile House
100 Mile House
Barkerville
Williams Lake
This is some info:
An estimated 6,000-7,000 Chinese immigrants had come to B.C. There were more Canadian and British prospectors involved in the Cariboo Gold Rush of 1860-63. The commercial centre for the Cariboo rush was Barkerville, named after William Barker, an English seaman who found gold in nearby Williams Creek in 1862

Beautiful, rugged country and scenery is spectacular
Here's the wee yin in her new outfit, and her new Unicorn baseball cap
Grandma and Papa took her shopping last night, and she has had 3 different outfits on since this morning LOL

Wanlockhead Is the highest village in Scotland, very small place, only a few dozen houses, a pub and a museum, but hosts the British gold panning competition every year, lost of wee streams and burns, has been producing gold finds since the 16th century, always a few people doing it, although not as much as used to since the Duke of Buccleuch started changing a £55 yearly licence fee, most of the burns have been well picked clean….but there always a chance of new finds after winter high rainfall washes out new material

Interesting and good to know
The pub is within staggering distance for them
