A Visit with Gary and Margaret...

No trip to the Annapolis Valley is complete without a stop at a Frenchies outlet! Linda is an avid Sally Ann and Value Village shopper, so I knew she would appreciate a stop here! We had a
blast! Both of us left $25 less in our wallets, but we both had a bag full!

As we approached the burg of Annapolis Royal, we stopped at a U-Pick. Fresh Strawberries for dessert! Linda, being a farm girl most of her life, showed off her expertise while I stood back and took pictures.




Only one false turn before we arrived. A little early, too. Imagine that! We had started out with a plan to visit Peggy's Cove and then head down the South Shore to Liverpool. From there we were to head inland to the "other side" and Annapolis Royal. It was pouring rain, of course, at Peggy's. Foggy, too. Not much to see. Time for Plan B.

We headed back to Halifax to find Highway 101 to the Valley. We made good time even with the diversions.

Lavateria! Ever see one? Fantastic annual. Margaret has this one growing down by the office. I'm going to find one or two to grow next year!

Strawberry Shortcake! We are smiling because we had just finished a bowl or two of Gary's Seafood Chowder!




A photo opportunity while we took a tour around the grounds.




Gary, with his Chainsaw Bunnie Carving.

The fish pond! What you won't see are all the free roaming Bunnies. Those pictures didn't turn out so good. Darn Bunnies kept moving.

The Pool! And Cottages 1 & 2. Oops, I see we cut off Cottage 3...

Here are Cottages 4, 5, 6 & 7!

Gary, his New Tractor and the "lawn"! Don't forget to check out Gary and Margaret's Blog. I don't have the URL but if you read Frank (no, not Frank magazine!), he has a link! You will see many bunnies and baby goats and Gary' s tractor there. And much more!

Mother Willow and her baby Billy Goat.

Bunny In A Bowl. Margaret, I forgot to get the recipe!

On the way back to Halifax, we took a walking tour of Annapolis Royal. We missed the Farmer's Market by "that" much! So we stopped to look at this boat. It turns out that this repair dock is owned and operated by the fishermen.
