Picturesque Perth Ontario

Living in our little corner of Ontario, we are most fortunate to be an hour's drive away from lovely, vibrant, small towns.
 Just north of us is charming, heritage Perth
 The Tay River runs through the centre of town
With many shops to browse, and restaurants to choose from, 
our first stop was The Stone Cellar.
We ate on their cozy patio
I just had to try a local brew from Perth Brewery
 We feasted on  a 'nut' burger, with peach marmalade....
 ...and a lamb burger, topped with cranberries and brie!
After our yummy lunch, we strolled the downtown, 
enjoying the local wall art
The Marriage Quilt

One of Perth's biggest heros was
Big Ben, a world champion show jumping horse.
His statue adorns Stewart Park
'Code's Mill' is now a shopping area 
with a a great little restaurant, Fiddleheads Bar and Grill
  It overlooks Stewart Park .
This lovely place is the original Stewart homestead..
..they donated all the land for Stewart Park
Stewart Park, which is a favourite spot for weddings. 
It was a perfect day for an outing.

100 kilometer journey

Given that it is a long weekend here, I took the opportunity of an extra day off to travel within a 100 kilometer radius of home.
First up, a trip for lunch to Perth, Ontario.
There are many wonderful restaurants to choose from, but decided on
What caught my attention was the lure of this burger:
A Nutty (Veg) Burger A blend of pecans, peanuts and almonds ground in our kitchen, mixed with fresh herbs and vegetables, crisp Bibb lettuce and tomatoes, then crowned with our house peach jam. Served with fresh greens, fresh fruit, balsamic vinaigrette and sweet potato fries topped with a local maple syrup drizzle.
All washed down with local brew....


Next up, a trip to the village of Westport for a car show at the local church.


There was something for everyone:


For fans of the movie GREASE, a replica of 'Greased Lightning'
Then, back to Kingston for a fabulous dinner at Le Chien Noir

Final outing; off to Prince Edward County for a stroll in Bloomfield
and lunch at Agrarian Market and Speakeasy
A first for me; Eggs Benedict poutine!
Yummy poached eggs with hollandaise, bacon and parmesan sitting atop crispy fries!

The crowning glory of the weekend;
ice cream from Slickers Ice Cream
Happy long weekend!
