So, yesterday Charlotte called and suggested we do something together. After much argument with her GPS and several miles over unpaved roads, we accidentally (or was it an accident?) in Bragg Country. We took a good look at Collingwood and Oxford - including the ginormous blueberry processing plant and the Blueberry and Maple Interpretive Centre - where you can even buy chocolate covered wild blueberries. We stopped to take photos of the site of the original John Bragg land and then we visited the old Anglican Church which is the picture above. There in the churchyard rest many generations of Braggs and it felt like I was really at my spiritual eipcentre.
The church had fallen into disuse and so the local family members purchased the building and adjoining cemetery. It sits on a knoll overlooking an old steel bridge over the River Philip. And considering there was a forecast for heavy rains and gale force winds, it wasn't really too bad a day.
We then went over to Pugwash for a late lunch/early dinner and had the best seafood chowder ever! I really enjoyed the day with Charlotte - we haven't spent time together for ages and it was nice to laugh about the crazy family we came from.
Today's a bit of a rest day. Having a barbeque tonight with the folks next door, who are from Newfoundland - and funny as all getout. Got to do some laundry and tidying up - and HAVE to empty the litterbox (At 150% humidity - it doesn't take long to make it's presence known).
To be continued...
