That’s Chris and Steve, an adorable couple who took me out (pseudo-studio!) to see seven of them. Turns out it’s never just a waterfall… there’s cascading, curtain, ribbon, many different types. Chris was so helpful on this exploration by researching and planning the trip, which is why I tweeted this. Oh, how I know Chris is she made me my tooth, click here.
Chris also made us a picnic lunch which we ate at The Hermitage , a heritage building in Ancaster which is rumoured to be haunted. Then out of nowhere I got very very cold, yanked down my sleeves and curled up into myself:
Steve: Cold?
Me: All of a sudden very
Chris: I know me too
Me: Maybe it’s the ghost, they say when the temperature drops rapidly like that there’s a ghost present
Steve: Well we have been talking about him all day
Us: [heads turn in unison toward the gatehouse he lives in]
Three words became the theme of the day: hermitage, giglala (definition: very fancy) and interloper *. And I didn’t know until well into the exploration that they’d never seen even one of my episodes… thanks for the trust guys, your time and the laughs.
