A Saturday Stroll

I love walking around my local neighbourhood because, despite the fact I've lived here for quite some time, I will always discover something - a new route, a view I didn't know existed or the perfect house (that I can dream of owning some day in the future.)

I found a run down little house just last week, with the perfect view across the hills, but on that trip I didn't have a camera with me. I'll be sure to take some photographs to share with you soon.

Today, I chose a slightly different route - because my curiousity got the better of me and because I wanted to head towards the park so that I could feed the ducks! I think they were pleased to see me. Obviously now that spring has arrived and the lake has thawed, everyone has forgotten about them. But not me, never fear!

Once the ducks were fed, I headed on towards Church Hill and arrived in time to hear the bells ringing four o'clock. The sun was low in the sky and the view was pretty spectacular. (You'll have to imagine it, the camera in my mobile phone isn't all that wonderful.)

After a brief stop to take in the view, it was homeward bound for a well earned cup of tea and a piece of carrot cake. It's what weekends are all about! What have you been up to today?

  1. So beautiful! That cup of tea and carrot cake sounds goooood. I did a little blogging this morning and now I'm cooking (jerk chicken, mac n cheese and veggies[still not sure what veggies I'm making})Then later I hope to make jewelry for my shop. I am also cleaning up :) So much for what I'm doing today. Is it Spring time already? I am still fooled by the huge piles of snow out there :(

  3. What pretty, pretty views! Ethan and I took a walk too, but just a short one since our trails are still covered in snow. He tried to explain how to tell the different trees apart. I can never remember which is which!

  5. Beautiful :-) When it's a bit warmer you must show me some of your local haunts x

    Our plans for a family day yesterday were scuppered by The Girl being a bit poorly, so we watched Gremlins together instead!
