St. Andrews Run

Under slightly foggy, cool and cloudy conditions, at the appointed hour of 10 am (well actually maybe a few minutes late), 8 FABAC cars and 15 members set our course for St. Andrews. The route through the rolling hills of Hanwell to the Harvey rendezvous point offered up spectacular fall colours to please the eye. At Harvey, we were joined by two more cars, Alex from Nackawic and Bob and Ann from Woodstock. Shortly after resuming our journey the skies cleared and we continued on under brilliant sunshine for the remainder of the drive. Upon arrival in St. Andrews, we were greeted by a parade of fire engines with their sirens wailing as we drove down Water Street. It was a fitting welcome for our small troupe (er... actually it was the start of Fire Prevention Week and we just got caught up in the traffic).










On arrival at Georgianna’s Tea Room, we were greeted on the front porch by a sign welcoming our club (see photo) and by our hostesses who ushered us into our own dining room. Once the meal orders were taken, we were welcomed by the owner of the establishment who filled us in on the history of his lovingly restored building. It was apparent that the owners have worked hard to ensure that no detail was left out in their attempt to capture the atmosphere of a Victorian era tea room with the beautiful furniture, table linens, tea cups and other accoutrements. Oh yeah! The food! Well, let’s just say that no one left disappointed as the presentation and quality matched our surroundings. Many thanks to Anne C for suggesting this dining destination.

Once the meal was over and the photos on the porch taken, the group dispersed to do a bit of sightseeing and visit local shops before heading off in different directions to make their way back home. Another terrific FABAC tour!
