casual thoughts and reflections upon life and the Creator whose idea it was in the first place

They came from the east and they came from the west...

It's fair to say that I've never been at a wedding quite like it. Just about everyone had to travel miles to be there! I mean the two ring-bearers travelled from Bermuda and Dallas, Texas and they weren't alone.

But something that blew me away was the fact that Nick's family who had travelled from Vancouver (Canada) to Newfoundland (also Canada) had travelled further to get there than anyone else - including those of us who'd travelled from the UK?! That's a big country!

If you're like me and you like to check these things out you'll find that there are 3135 miles (5046 km) (2725 nautical miles - what's going on with 'nautical' miles?!) between Vancouver and St. Johns and 2345 miles (3774 km) (2038 bizarre nautical miles) between London and St.Johns so it isn't even a close run thing?!


Canada is a beast of a place! A beautiful beast, but a beast nonetheless!
