Quinte West and Prince Edward County
Have you been to the Big Apple? No, I don’t mean New York, I mean the BIG APPLE in Colborne!
I hadn’t been in a couple of years, so I thought it was time to make a visit again. Also, it’s a darn good excuse to eat some delicious pie as well as buying one to take home. I took Highway 2 which is much prettier than the 401, and it ...
Lunch at Lake On The Mountain! A must while visiting the County!
I was very happy when one of my Toronto friends called to tell me that she, her sister and mother were coming to the County for a day trip. They wanted to meet up for lunch. Great! Lunch at Lake on The Mountain Resort – FANTASTIC! I love...
Who likes to fish? Our guests do!

North Beach? To let the world know how great it is or not?
We are very lucky indeed to be situated near 3 Provincial Parks! Of course everyone knows about Sandbanks, and many nature lovers look forward to visiting Presqu’ile, but surprisingly, many people don’t know about North Beach. And, maybe...
It’s not far to the Thousand Islands from Bay House!
Yes, it’s nice to go to the Sandbanks, Presqu’ile and North Beach Provincial parks, but since you will be spending at least a week at Bay House, why not take advantage of the fact that it isn’t that far to the Thousand Islands Area? Take...
Even though it’s starting to get cold, the beach in Wellington, Prince Edward County is still very pretty
Although it may be starting to show signs that winter is probably just around the corner, the beach in Wellington, Prince Edward County is always beautiful. We stopped by yesterday on the drive home from taking the dog to the vet. The wa...
THE SWANS ARE PACKING UP FOR THEIR TRIP SOUTH!
Just a quick post to let you know that it looks like the swans are starting to gather up for their flight South. This was the view from my porch yesterday. Although it is nice to see all the swans a swimming, I’m pretty sure that...
We live in such a beautiful part of the world! Prince Edward County in the summertime- beautiful!
Who can resist a great lunch with a beautiful view? We can’t, so whenever we get a chance, we choose one of the County’s restaurants and have some eye candy along with our meal. A couple of weeks ago we chose The County Cider Company for...
Is there going to be an early winter here on the Bay of Quinte?
I think the geese are telling me it’s going to be an early winter! The last few mornings I have been awakened to the sounds of the geese honking outside my bedroom window here on the bay of Quinte, and they definitely have a lot to say t...
Lunch at Presqu’ile Park. What a great way to spend a few hours!

The swans are out and about enjoying themselves!
These swans have the right idea of what to do on a hot day. It sure was hot here yesterday, but the swans looked cool and collected! We never get tired of watching them sail by. Facebook Twitter Google+ Pinterest Tumblr...
THE “SWANEY” RIVER ON THE ROUTE TO BRIGHTON
We had to go to Brighton yesterday, and decided to take one of our favourite side routes to get there. That path took us along Weller’s Bay, which is always a pretty place to look at. Weller’s bay is the home to many swans, geese and duc...
Presqu’ile Provincial Park is even pretty in the winter
Presqu’ile, even at this time of year is pretty. In fact it is pretty and amazing, which I guess makes it pretty amazing! Admittedly, it doesn’t give me the urge to break out my picnic basket, but it sure does make want to take some phot...
A trip to Campbellford without stopping at Dooher’s would just be wrong!
Dooher Legend Is True. ‘It’s the truth! Just tell any local that you have to go to Campbellford, and the first comment from them is always “Have you tried those cream doughnuts from Dooher’s?”. Well of course I have, do you think I h...
We visited a few of the Wineries of Prince Edward County

Madoc- we went to see the display of Nativity Scenes at St.John the Baptist Anglican Church
