Out To Lunch
Lynda Sez she's going to blog more often now September is here. This reminded me that it has been awhile since I have blogged so here goes.
An interesting drive home from Meaford today took us around a few new roads, thanks to Roy's GPS which, although we knew where we were heading, took an alternate route including a detour that afforded us the privilege of seeing two hawks and a fox and hardly any traffic. Views from hilltops tended to be spectacular and I made a mental note to return during leaf turning season.
After a delightful lunch at Walter's Falls Inn, I left Roy admiring the view on the deck while I scouted a short stretch of Bruce Trail that winds around beside this busy place. Lynda and I had tried to get some lunch there last Saturday after an art show but a wedding party had completely taken over dining room and kitchen. Our waitress told us that weddings are booked for each Saturday at least for some time so be warned.
On one of our return trips from Meaford we discovered the Coffin Hill Winery, enjoying the vintner's lunch of cheeses, paté and artisan bread, accompanied by a glass of their refreshing Resurrection Rosé. The owners have leaned heavily on the area name for their wine list. They were sold out of Back from the Dead Red. As this detour led us on the north side of Highway 26, we returned by way of Annan stopping to show Roy the Leith Church and for lookouts across the Sound on the shoreline road
I'm almost regretful that the weekly Meaford trips for physiotherapy are coming to an end - but not quite.

Hi Doreen, Enjoyed your note a second time. We are fortunate to have the lovely restaurant at Walter's Falls as the view is so much like the one at Inglis Falls but there is no restaurant there to relax and savour the view.
You will miss Roy. What a wonderful brother to have. I sure wish I had mine still but he died of cancer at 56. We had a lovely motor trip around Banff to Jasper, a flight across the prairies to Indian Head from Ft. Saskatchewan and a wonderful flight up the coast of B.C. to Charlotte Lake from Bellingham in the States. These were my last happy memories of him. He loved to fly his small airplane more than anything else.
Had plans to wash the car today and do some garden work so hope it clears up soon.
Hope we have a nice day tomorrow for the jazz in Collingwood.
Love, Ruth
