Old friends and trails crossing
One thing about the weather; it constantly changes. We had started our night with some cloud that degenerated into heavy rain before dawn with the usual shock and awe effects. No matter. We packed up and headed off before spirits were too wet. Lunch saw us in the Mount Stewart area, ready to try out the Trailside Cafe, which is better known for its live shows throughout the summer. Appears we’ll miss Gordie Sampson this year. On the brighter side, we met up with Margie Carmichael and caught up on the news over our chowder and sandwiches. Her reaction to my new accordion was that, at least, it wasn’t bagpipes.
In town, time to put some new clothes on son #3. He claims its the good camping food, but he’s outgrown his pants. Wanting to shop “downtown” we received excellent advice from the girls at Pseudio which is in the old H&C quarters. I also picked up a copy of John Cairn’s book on Island Music.
This was a great day for hanging around bookstores and the Dairy Queen. Our return trip was interrupted by some war driving in Brown’s Court and Victoria Park areas; nothing of note found. Back via St Peter’s where the wifi works…
