Welcome to Wanderlust and Words!
Thank you for joining me. I hope you enjoy my postings. I’m Penny McKinlay and I’ve been publishing Wanderlust and Words on Blogger since 2007. I’ve moved to Substack so it will be easier for readers to subscribe by email.
I’m an explorer of places, ideas, and flavours. I love to travel and I’ll be sharing the places I discover while housesitting in British Columbia, France, and the United Kingdom. I’m a researcher, writer, and editor so I’ll also be sharing my love of books, words, and languages. I strongly support food that is good, clean, and fair and promote local food and farmers’ markets.
Stay up-to-date
Footnotes to a Conversation is a weekly Monday feature covering an assortment of topics that I’ve come across in the preceding week – books, art, travel, food, and whatever else strikes my fancy. I also post occasional articles on other dates, including frequent book reviews and travel tales.
By subscribing to Wanderlust and Words on Substack, you won’t have to worry about missing anything. Every new edition of the newsletter goes directly to your inbox.
You’ll find previous articles as well as book and winery reviews on my website.
One More Thing
If you enjoy my newsletter, please share it with your friends and family.
If you share my love of nature, I suggest you also read EcoFriendly Sask that I publish in collaboration with my brother, Andrew. And do check out EcoFriendly Sask’s Nature Companion, a free nature app for Canada’s four western provinces (downloadable from the website).
