Hotel, motel or simply a place to
rest your head, it can be a challeng-
ing undertaking at times in Sea -
forth. Pemberley House Bed and
Breakfast on 145 Main St. North
will somewhat alleviate these lodg-
ing difficulties.
It is a Victorian -style home,
assembled back in 1874 that newly-
weds John and Nancy Welter, origi-
nally from Alberta, now reside. The
duo's 31 -hour trek from the much
larger city of Calgary (Cowtown),
Alb. to the small rural town of Sea -
forth has led them to enjoy a fresh
start.
The move from three provinces
away was originally made to be
closer to his daughter and grand-
children who are in London. John
made the choice to come to Huron
County as his brother lives in the
Bridges of Seaforth. The choice also
made sense for Nancy as she is a
native of Montreal.
The couple were hitched last
September and found the task of
looking for a venue for their wed-
ding to be an unpleasant one,
John mentioned to the Expositor.
The 65 -year-old said they were
interested in a more rustic venue,
but discovered it was a case of
either the "the barn was a wreck,"
or even receiving a response to
their request was asking too
much.
"We figured we could do a better
job, we might have been doing that
right now before a bed and break-
fast," stated John in a recent phone
interview.
After careful consideration the
two struck down the wedding
enterprise idea and instead went
full-fledged into the bed and break-
fast business. Besides ripping all
the wallpaper off the walls for the
last four months, they have added
marble to the previously carpeted
bathrooms. Without further ado,
Pemberley House Bed and Break-
fast will be open to the public with
two fully furnished rooms. In the
near future a third room will be
ready for occupancy as well. In the
past 25 years two other bed and
breakfast operations have occupied
the building.
Being an IT manager in Calgary,
this venture is new to John, but he
said he's been doing lots of home-
work relating to living accommo-
dations and plans to make every
person's stay unforgettable. And to
provide customers with a better
history of where they are staying,
John has an appointment in
Goderich to find out a chronicle of
the house. He added that Seaforth
used to have the small history book
of the older dwellings in town, but
that has recently changed over the

Need an easy way to stay active in retirement? Adult lifestyle communities offer a variety of
activities from low -impact aqua fitness to indoor swimming pools, well-maintained walking and
biking paths, exercise rooms, tennis courts, golf, and much more. Being active isn't just about
exercise. It also means getting together with like-minded friends to play cards, have a BBQ or
enjoy group gatherings such as happy hour, dinners and dances.
Retirees have done the hard work and deserve to truly enjoy an active retirement with ample
energy and good health. Instead of spending time on tedious home maintenance, shoveling
snow or mowing the lawn, a land lease style of home ownership takes care of these monotonous
tasks and gives retirees back their time to enjoy what really matters.
Parkbridge communities like The Bluffs at Huron are located near other great amenities which
complement an active lifestyle. Within a short walk or drive there are many activities to choose
from which include, shopping, cafes, restaurants, beaches,
wineries and much more.
