The Canadian branch of the Dunn family lives in a town called, funnily enough, Dundas, which is about an hour outside of the mining city of Hamilton, itself an hour or so from Toronto.
When the Canuck Dunns go for vacation - and I joined them, twice, in the early 90s, fact fans - they sometimes go "up north" to their "cabin", which was built by hand by my uncle's father-in-law in woods where small bears actually roam, next to a lake where loons can actually be seen in the trees, and where we genuinely did skate across an unbroken surface on a breathtakingly fast catamaran.
Uncle Peter has just sent us a recent picture of the cabin in wintertime.
Darn!
