Pausing momentarily, or as some would say, temporarily halting activities.
It's high time for some R&R! My wife and I are packing our bags and heading to our cozy Canadian countryside retreat for the summer. Expect a laid-back vibe as we unwind, kick back with good reads, reel in a catch or two, splash around in the lake, and hike through breathtaking landscapes. Of course, we'll also catch up with friends and neighbors while sipping on a refreshing beverage or two.
But fear not, clock enthusiasts: even on vacation, this blog will never miss a beat! I'll still keep pumping out two quality articles each week like a well-oiled clockwork machine. So, don't be a stranger, send me those emails or leave comments on posts – I'll get back to you as soon as I can, promise.
This blog is all about my personal collection of antique and vintage clocks, diving deep into their peculiarities and quirks, discussing the challenge of maintaining and repairing these beauties, and discovering new and intriguing timepieces from yesteryears.
As we explore central Canada during our summer escapade, we'll be on the lookout for treasure troves of unique clocks in antique stores, flea markets, and one-of-a-kind shops. I'll document our exciting finds, share fresh repair challenges, and maybe even take on the next major restoration project.
Can't wait to revisit the Canadian Clock Museum in Deep River, Ontario, where I'll ogle at new additions to their impressive collection and chat up the curator, Allan Symons.
