Usually there has already been weeks of hard frosts as well as snow, wind and ice. On Saturday we had 19 Celsius!
Wow.
Friends and I made the most of it by driving to the valley to check out a craft sale, have lunch and then a stroll around Lumsden.
We even drove up to St. Michael's Retreat... alas, a retreat no longer. It was sold by the church a couple of years ago because there was only a handful of Franciscan monks left and little money for its upkeep.
It's being renovated as a special event venue. They still have many of the stations that had been designed for reflection and meditation. We visited the labyrinth and hill top.
A good day with good friends.
We also visited the memorial in Lumsden - in honour and gratitude for those who died defending our country, as well as those daring to die who survived.
It seemed appropriate given Remembrance Day next week.
