Yukon River Trip – Part 2

Hello, hope you’re well. I’m going to dive straight back into my Yukon River trip. If you are just finding my blog for the first time, I suggest you go back and read part 1. As well as all my other posts of course, especially Babies & Bear Charges, it’s my favourite. Anyway, when I …

Daddy Day Care

It’s been nearly five months since I put pen to paper and updated the blog, so I thought it was about time I updated you all with what’s been going on. I last left off with a rather doom and gloom sounding post. We were unsure how to stay living in this place with little …

Who Knows What The Future Holds

Hello friends. How are you all doing? It’s been a hard few weeks here in Parts Unknown. We have been racking our brains on how to survive here another year and have pretty much come to the conclusion that unless something changes, we can’t. With two children who need constant attention, no work locally and …

Where Have All The Animals Gone

Hello everyone, how are you doing? Starting to feel Christmassy yet? I am waiting with anticipation for Kaitlyn to pick out another 20ft Christmas tree and demand I fit it in the house. Anyone else have these issues with their significant other or is it just me? Talking of Christmas what are you all doing? …

Tales About McConkey

I know what you’re thinking. Can he really have updated the blog so soon? Crazy I know, but yes it’s true, for the first time in probably six months I’ve managed to do a weekly update. Let’s start off with some business. If you follow us on our social media platforms you would no doubt …

All At Sea

We’re still alive

Well seeing as I haven’t spoken to you all for pretty much the whole of the summer, I thought it was about time I updated you all with the goings on around here. When I last updated the blog, I was having a rant about my tractors not working. Here we are nearly four months …

Babies & Bear charges

Are you sitting comfortably? Because this week’s post is a wild one, with babies being born and grizzly bears charging at me. This week has had it all. Our week started fairly normally, with me pottering around the garden (yard) and heading out looking for wildlife. I decided on Monday that I wanted to head …

Mosquito Season

Well, it’s been awhile but I’m back. I’ve been rather busy here, and with all that’s going on I’ve just not found the time to update you all. So, what have I been doing? As mentioned in the last post my in-laws were coming to help renovate the basement. We managed to get a room …

Wildlife Photography

This week has indeed been an exciting week, and one that reignited my love of photography, or to be more precise my love of wildlife photography. We are very lucky to live where we do. I have often said driving around these parts is a lot like driving into a safari park, and even more …
