It’s blueberry season! Picking at Thomas Berry Farm officially began on Friday. We spent a most salubrious hour here this morning picking the juiciest and sweetest berries from these venerable forty year old bushes. Now we can enjoy fresh berries for a couple of days and berries fresh from the freezer in the coming months. The tastebuds are primed from the previews we indulged in whilst picking!
Over a long weekend we sampled some of the myriad things to do in Cuyahoga Valley National Park, unique among national parks for it’s environmental reclamation, historic preservation, and recreational opportunities adjacent to the populous cities of Cleveland and Akron in northeastern Ohio. Can’t wait to return and explore more.
Our journey from Portsmouth, England to our home in Ohio might have been accomplished in about sixteen hours but my avoiding air travel we were able to enjoy a fifteen day journey home via train, ship, Uber, train, as well as our own feet and finally our personal vehicle.
It’s been a fascinating two day visit to Portsmouth Historic Dockyard. We managed to pack in tours of the HMS Warrior, the HMS Victory as well ast Victory Live: The
Big Repair, and finally the Mary Rose. All were incredibly informative and well presented.
