"Take the Jag?...or take the appliance?
..take the Jag?...or take the appliance?"
The sun was shining and even though it was -3C, it was supposed to warm up a bit. I hadn't driven my LBC in a week and the nice weather was making me itchy to take her out. The possibility of salt on the roads had me wavering. I wasn't sure how wife would take to a couple of hours with the top down either.
In the end, the 'appliance' won out and we headed to Freddy to meet the gang. Five cars showed up and it was heartening to see one LBC, although one can hardly call a Range Rover 'little'. Robert and Nettie where doing the club proud.
The weather held and we headed via the scenic route to Gagetown. The town was a bit crowded but it wasn't hard to find parking. With no schedule to meet, we strolled around the town for a few hours and bought nothing (amazingly!) Although we've done this for several years, it's still a pleasant outing, especially when the weather co-operates. At one point Robert and Nettie ran into another displaced Scot who turned out to be from their home town. The accents quickly became thicker until only they understood what they where saying. The rest of us stood by and strained to make sense of the stream of "rrrr's" and "Mcgurdyfdxnrstgobjs".
As the afternoon wore on we all found ourselves at the Creek View restaurant for a light supper. The food is always great (try the chowder) and prices reasonable. We also took the opportunity to plan our respective dishes for the upcoming Christmas party.
Look for photos by Stephen--coming soon.
