Elinor Whidden

ELINOR WHIDDEN is a Settler of British, Irish, Scottish and Huguenot descent. (That’s a Protestant French person persecuted for not being Catholic. Most converted or fled as refugees, like her ancestor Jean Geunon who ended up in Flushing, Long Island in 1657.) Whidden is likely descended from even more European places: research pending. She has always considered herself a Heinz 57 of European flavours, but most closely identifies with the British flavour because of her Grammie, Monty Python, and the family tradition of stifling emotions with dry humour. Whidden currently lives in Toronto, part of the Dish With One Spoon Territory. Toronto is the traditional territory of the Wendat, Haudenosaunee, and Anishinaabe peoples (and likely many other Nations - recorded and unrecorded - who she will never know). The Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation are the current treaty land holders through the Toronto Purchase settlement in 2010.

Don Gill – Walking

The blog at dongillwalking.blogspot.com documents a range of walking routes primarily in Ireland, featuring detailed accounts of hikes, countryside walks, and coastal paths. The content is organized around individual walks, often with maps, photographs, and descriptions of the terrain, landmarks, and natural features encountered. Emphasis is placed on the geographical and cultural context of each route, including historical and environmental notes that enrich the understanding of the landscape. The blog also explores lesser-known trails and rural areas, providing insights into Ireland’s diverse topography, from mountainous regions to coastal shorelines. Through its detailed commentary and visual documentation, the blog serves as a resource that captures both the physical experience of walking these paths and the broader cultural geography of the areas covered. The writing reflects an engaged, informed perspective on Ireland’s walking opportunities without commercial intent.
