An evening off
Amanda and Pete are visiting from England this week and here's a shot of them enjoying Lake Huron. (And later Amanda and I enjoyed our way to the bottom of a bottle of 2005 Henry of Pelham Baco Noir Reserve. "Sadly" Pete doesn't drink wine.)
The best thing about having friends in town is playing tourist in your own region. We drove up to Sauble Beach and had supper at Driftwood. Then we drove up to Oliphant to see if the kite boarders were still riding the waves (they weren't). We proceeded up the beach a bit via car and then wandered out to the water's edge for some photos. It was absolutely gorgeous and wonderful to smell the fresh air and have the wind rip through my hair (and have moments of no cel phone reception). Remind me why I'd never think to make the trek 30 minutes away on my own?
Hi Emmajane,
We did much the same this weekend. Dad and his friend Dorothy were up and we took them to the new 'boutique' winery - Coffin Ridge Winery then the Billy Bishop Museum and the Tom Thompson gallery. It is fun to play tourist in your own back yard. BTW. Check the blog. I gave Dorothy my new wrap.
