A day of contrasts all within 10km of our home. 50km, 14c. Another beautiful day.
We set out in the morning with a loop to a neighbouring town and then rode a 4km circuit around Earl Rowe Provincial Park. (2 km from our home). Then back to our home town.
We wanted to visit our neighbour’s tea house as we are ashamed to admit that she’s been there for 7 years and we never have. Tea at the Corner is a block from our house in a lovely circa 1900 home, in the historic part of our town. They have a choice of 50 teas and we chose Diamond Jubillee. This tea was created to celebrate Queen’s Elizabeth’s 60 years as Queen of Canada (and some other places too). It seemed fitting as we’ve been watching The Crown. Tea was served with warm sconesandjamandcream.
After tea, we headed to Sheldon Creek Dairy (5km from our home). The dairy supplies many of the high end restaurants in Toronto. We picked up some supplies and said thank you to the cows.
On the final stretch we caught a wedding and their transport truck at nearby Gibson Hills. The Hills are a lovely reserve made available to the public by the family that owns the land. They didn’t want it to be developed into housing.
