In the winter we travelled by sleigh or "cutter" and I can remember many a jolly evening sleigh ride amid piles of hay and buffalo robes to keep us warm, and the harmonizing of the old songs to the accompaniment of the jingle of sleigh bells.

Another of our winter entertainments was skating on the river where we would often have to clear a patch of ice if there had been recent snow. Dad would take a team of horses down on the ice and take off the heavy snow with an improvised snowplough and the rest we had to get off with brooms and scrapers - hard work but it was worth it.
