…sunny, warm and quiet
After the Labour Day Weekend it gets pretty quiet at the cottage. Once the kids are back at school the rush to get to the cottage diminishes considerably. Lucky me!

…on our recent trip to Niagara-on-Lake we had a beautiful sunny morning on our last day
Walking through the neighbourhood we discovered some amazing majestic old trees.

This week’s theme is #storm. How appropriate. The snow just started at 8:00 this morning but it’s suppose to continue till midnight.


Storms of the past

This week in Niagara-on-the-Lake the Main Street was set up for the Ice Wine Festival.

Niagara-on-the-Lake is a quaint village full of old world architecture. The Main Street is full of charming gift shops, retro and designer clothing stores, hat shops, confectionary stores, cozy coffee shops, old theatres, Christmas shops, a variety of restaurants and pubs and high end renovated inns and spas.
In January many stores are closed for the season or have limited hours. Luckily we found enough places to explore and enjoy but some of our favourite walks took place through the neighbourhood close to our hotel. This is where we found some amazing doors.
