This Canada Day weekend, Marsh, the kiddies and I went back to Gore's Landing on Rice Lake. We drove (quickly) past the Victoria Inn (site of our honeymoon) and visited Marsh's friend's cottage. Had a nice lunch at a small restaurant in Gore's Landing called pitchers.
The second photo speaks for itself, nevertheless: Tarah, Marsh and Seth inside the restaurant.Later, we drove to Warkworth, a small town, nay, a village which was described (and only today) by the National Post as "the gayest village in Ontario." Who would have known: With a population of about 700, there are about 130 gay couples in this village. Mostly emigres from Toronto.
Anyways, we went to Warkworth to re-visit a wonderful pottery factory known as Frantic Farms. Monica Johnston owns this little store and workshop where she and her husband make beautiful glass and pottery artifacts. Some of them looking utilitarian but always too beautiful to use...other works such as this glass crab are delicate and meant clearly for display purposes.
Later still, we went to a small park by a river in town and let the kids work off some energy before the ride back home.

Looks like a lovely time. Congrats on the smoking cessation!
thanks Duane.
They replaced that playground in the picture, with one of those new plastic jobs with the work out equipment and such.
Thanks for the update, Anon. Definately need to re-visit this little town. Too bad about the plastic!
