I had never been and since I couldn't afford a weekend away, I figured this would just have to do.
And it did!
The beach was white and I loved the sound of the crashing waves! I think I was a bit surprised how many people were out and about including the amount of kite surfers. (Although considering how windy it was by the water, made sense - they really seemed to be able to go far!)
From there I went off to Picton. I was hoping to hit Buddha Dog but this time of year everything closes early! Boo for me.
I strolled around and walked into a store called Rose Haven. It was SO not my intention to hit a yarn store or buy anything, but I did. Picked up some black roving (which I needed), replacement felting needles (again something I needed) and made an impromptu purchase of some Habu silk stainless thread (?) yarn (?) - not sure what you'd call it and some Habu bamboo. I'm rather excited about what I'll be making with that!
On the way home I stopped and picked up a couple of small pumpkins - they were free - and then at George's Fish & Chip. The poutine was perfect. Crispy fries drowned in gravy and melted cheese. Very fitting for a cool, crisp Fall day.
I've got another day off today. It's started with laundry so far (I know not exciting, but necessary) and the rest of day... who knows!
Have a good one!
