Welcome to Flicker's Lair

Welcome to our website, I am Heidi and I am a web developer, my husband is Steve and he does technical support for me and for Cognos! We live Ontario, Canada, having emigrated from England.

We love animals; especially cats, dogs aren’t bad either! We have an 8 acre homestead or hobby farm, with all sorts of livestock and a large vegetable garden. I love books (well reading generally), photography, walking in the country side, bird watching, scrapbooking, genealogy, the list goes on. Steve keeps a saltwater reef aquarium and is an avid golfer! This site is about all these things and anything else that happens to catch my attention or entertains me.

I – we – hope you enjoy.

Random Pages

These are pages that don't fit into one of the existing sections of the site, but don't warrant a new section.

We have a Calendar, alongside interesting events it also details the phases of the moon. I am currently working on adding all English and Canadian events, please feel free to help me out by suggesting events or information that you think the calendar should contain.

Here is my do some good page; it is a collection (small at the moment) of sites that let you do some good for no, or very little, expenditure of your time or money. If you have any suggestions of other sites you think should / could be included, please let me know.

Do you love our site, or hate it? We really hope you don't hate it! Do you think it needs something else, different, other? We really want to know what you think, so why not get in touch or post on our guestbook and let us know!
