We left home at about 8:00 am and took our trusty dog with us. That meant that we wouldn't be leaving him for very long in the car by himself...minutes only. That dictates where and how long we visit.
Our first stop in the valley was the Wolfville Farmers' Market. They have over 70 vendors, although I didn't take the time to count them. There was everything there, veggies of course, fish chowder, artisans, wine, art, honey, candles, and live music. Most of the vendors are inside but there are a few outside tents. I visited the market while my husband and our dog went for a walk around the surrounding area. I have a few pictures of the market and the hustle and bustle. If anyone is a farmers'market fan, this is definitely a must see and do. They are open on Wednesday evenings and on Saturday mornings, and they are a year round market. Pretty impressive for a small community like Wolfville,
Our next stop was a wonderful fabric shop in Avondale. I always like to pick up a "few things" when I am there. Quilting supplies and patterns, and they also carry knitting supplies and other fabric art/craft supplies. Another must see if you are into fabric arts.
On to Windsor. We had picked two or three things we wanted to do and decided to return another day for more fun stuff. In Windsor at Kings/Edgehill there was a British car display as well as a cricket match and other "British" related activities. It was the cars that drew us and we were really surprised at the number of cars on display, one from Washington State, some from Ontario and of course all of the Maritime provinces.
We then backtracked to Blomidon lookoff and then to Halls Harbour. Both of these are beautiful and allowed us to walk freely with our dog. He always was a perfect gentleman as he visited all those beautiful cars in Windsor.
We decided that we had had a great day, filled with both the unexpected and the expected and neither disappointed. We learned that there was also a "Big Rig" display at the Windsor Exhibition grounds. While this wasn't something that we were particularly interested in, it looked to be of interest to several people, at least as we drove past to the highway.
Another great day. July has been a beautiful month so far, great experiences and fun, and a great dinner at the Galley restaurant for our anniversary.
