All in all, it was quite a day to remember, and a most pleas- ant one too. for this event pro- vided an excellent opportunity for many a reunion with friends and relatives, which everyone seemed to take advantage of to the fullest. The eleven pioneer buildings attacted huge crowds and many of the people proceeded to visit the Pioneer Cemetery on the grounds where the settlers of the land that is now the Pioneer Village are buried. Visitors also could experience the thrill of transportation by horse and bug- gy as they shuttled in this mode around the Pioneer Village. A bus transported visitors to the gioneer barn north of Steeles ve. Many groups seized the oppor- tunity to enjoy a picnic at the rustic tables so conveniently ar- ranged along the tree-lined creek banks. hosts alike when they undertook to provide lunches and dinners or light refreshment for all who desired it. So great was the demand for their services that they were all sold out by mid- afternoon. Take it from one who knows â€" the only way to really see some- thing in a country (a section at a time) â€" is to walk! So recom- mends Mrs. Archibald who says she completely wore out a pair of shoes as she walked a full 30 miles on foot over Scotland’s banks and braes. In Southampton, known to many as ‘God’s House,’ is a large old structure, housing and mak- ing a home for retired minister. Mr. Archibald explored Alton and Borden Camp in Hampshire; Winchester â€" King Alfred’s town; Aldershot, Southampton and more. One cathedral she attended (still in use.) was built in 1450. and is 200 feet long; the rectory was built in 1477. Next our intrepid tourist jour- neyed t'o Bonnie Scotland and Kelso, the home of Sir Walter Scott and Bonnie Prince Charlie. Along the Tweed River flourish- ed beautiful sheep grazing land. On to Jedborough, where Mary Queen of Scots resided in a house with walls four solid feet thick and with cobblestone floors. Yes, in those days the buildings were built to last and to a great extent 'they most surely have. Some friends of hers are living in a house, just one of many that is 400 years old!! She attended a Mormon 'church that had been built in the tenth century. Since cement was yet to be discovered some hun- dreds of years, hence â€" the hand-hewn stone structure was held together with clay. Living close by was an interesting couple that had seen much history pass byâ€"he was 109 years of age and his wife was 91. When asked how a building so constructed could stand the ravages of time and weather so magnificently â€" he firmly allowed ‘faith had held it together’! A yew tree proudly and serenely had survived the passing parade over the centuries as it was as old as the church. Many well-known people, down through the ages, were buried in the crypt and many visitors, some very fa- mous,others not so famous, had signed the guest book, Throughout our little interview with our traveller. we sensed the keen appreciation for the old England, its early architectural works and : history. ' One such lucky day was the Civic Holiday when all elements ‘combined to make Navy Day at Portsmouth an exciting and mem- orable affair. Giving Canadian tourists a touch of pride and a reminder of home were the Can- adian destroyers taking part in the naval exercises and displays. Mrs. Archibald took a tour around the bay on a landing barge. A touch of nostalgia was felt by all viewers when the “Old Vanguard” the last: British destroyer of her class, was towed away, after be- ing on display. to â€" as rumor had it â€" make razor blades! Although Mrs. Archibald had llved in England for eight years, 21 years ago, the weather, she says, couldn't have been more dreary or cold. It rained consist- ently and the old ‘saw‘ â€" "you know our weather hasn’t been as wretched as this for ages" â€" was bandied about whenever a non- native should happen to com- ment. To be fair, the sun did shine after the first four and a half weeks but the temperature never reached sixty degrees.
