St. Thomas is actually a true hidden gem. I have friends who live there. It's also close to Port Stanley.
We were very surprised
Thank you for showcasing our charming hometown. We have lived here for 35 years. We think it's great. It has changed over the years for the better (that's our opinion). The only thing it's too far from Toronto. London is ok. BTW Jumbo was a boy (bull) elephant.😁😁
You're welcome. Glad you enjoyed our video.
I am new to your channel. Pleasantly surprised. Very nice videos ❤
Thank you so much!
Sad story about Jumbo. I didn't realize that he actually belonged to an American travelling circus.
Ya. We didn't know that either.
Do they have good farmers markets there?
Yes, every Saturday.
