Pender Harbour

Hello all. Are you ready for Christmas yet? I’m almost there – just a few little finishing touches to the porch and a table runner and napkins to sew and I’ll be done! As of Friday, I’m on holiday until the New Year, so I should be able to finish it off over the weekend.

We got our tree up over the weekend. It’s a beach cottage Christmas this year

The only place it would fit in our tiny cottage was where that white wicker chair was, so it’s a bit of a squeeze. But it’s only for a few weeks, so I’m sure we can manage.

I decorated the top of the pantry as well – there’s a couple of bottles of wine under there somewhere 😀

And then I added to the winter wreath that I made a few weeks ago

On Saturday, we took a drive to Pender Harbour to buy a couple of steaks (the butcher there has the best meat), and decided to do a little sight-seeing. Even though it was a grey day, it was still very beautiful. This was Irvine’s Landing

and boats and a totem pole on our way to Daniel Point. There’s so much water here – both salt and fresh water – many people have boats

We came across this road sign along the way – although no Billy Goats in sight

and this was just one of some of the enormous houses at Daniel Point – lots of money here

This sign says there’s a Recreational Trail

but the only evidence of anything vaguely resembling something you might be able to walk along was this treacherous-looking rock that made me think I might break something (or kill myself) if I attempted it. So we gave that a miss.
