Setting up home in a new country is going to be challenging. A bit like trying to cook a meal in someone else's kitchen. Maybe. This is a record of my experiences as I pack up my old life in England and start a new one in Ontario, Canada, with the aim of becoming more self-sufficient.

These are so interesting!! I have never seen clouds like that! Until NOW!
Like a breaking wave on the beach. Wonder what atmospheric conditions trigger those swirls. We once, but only once, saw a barleysugar twist in the clouds at sunset.
Beautiful indeed!
This looks like the rare Kelvin-Helmholtz wavecloud. It's to do with shearing winds being at just the right speed to cause the clouds to curl. I'm not kidding you - look it up on Google! You should submit it to the UK Cloud Appreciation Society, of which (can you tell??) I'm a member.
Most amazing!

There's a Cloud Appreciation Society? Fantastic! I love that their manifesto includes a pledge "to fight ‘blue-sky thinking’ wherever we find it."
I sent the photos in to them. Am very thrilled to discover that this type of cloud has a name.
Gosh, that's amazing. I wonder what creates such formations?
