Summer is fading fast but before it goes we owe it to ourselves
to make the best of the rest. Get outside and enjoy the weather
while we still can.
One of the ways of doing so is to pack a picnic lunch and head
for a nice spot to eat it. This month Village Squire conducted a
survey of some of the more popular and interesting picnic spots.
Some are large, some small but all offer a nice place to enjoy an
informal meal.
If you want a relaxing but slightly more formal dining you
might visit Harry Ten Shilling as freelancer Susanne Jones did.
She found the Shakespeare tea-room and gift shop an interesting
and friendly place to visit.
Turning from food before we're too stuffed to turn, Elaine
Townshend talks to a man with a hobby that has become so
fascinating to him that he hopes to make it a full-time occupation
someday. Sam Doherty discovered the enjoyment of working
with wood in a high school shop class and since then has filled his
house with products of his skills.
Another way to enjoy the great outdoors is provided regularly
at Formosa where people can mix the pleasures of the park -like
setting with the enjoyment of listening to some of the top
Bluegrass music makers in Ontario. It's called Pickin In The
Pines and Gary Moon tells us about it.
A fascinating Western Ontario character of the past was
brought to light recently by a new book by Joseph L. Wooden. A
Drum To Beat Upon tells the story of Narcisse Cantin a man of
vision whose dreams seemed to be before his time. He
envisioned the St. Lawrence Seaway and saw it making his home
town of St. Joseph near Grand Bend into a bustling commercial
centre. We have a review of the book.
We have fiction this month with a gentle tale of growing up in
a gentler age. We have McGillicuddy's Diary. There's Update
and People and the dining review and entertainment listings.
• Plenty to keep you busy on one of those lazy August afternoons.
