We are well underway now with the notion of two groups leaving from High Park
on Saturday mornings, one at 7:00 and one at 8:00. When I arrived just before 8:00, Laurel waved cheerfully
from the steps near the café. Before long, we were joined by six or seven
others. After a couple of delays to retrieve sunglasses from a car, to tie up
shoes and of course the necessary pit stops, we were on our way. We looped
through the park before travelling down toward the lakeshore.
We were met on the Colbourne Lodge Hill by Phyllis et al. returning
from her 7:00 sojourn and we all posed for a group shot kindly taken by a
passer-by. We are also thankful for the
patience the drivers of the two vehicles
who - due to our impromptu photographer
standing in the middle of the road – were forced to stop and wait. Eventually we set out again, amidst a chorus
of reciprocal cheerful waves from all involved.
The positive tone thus set, the ensuing walk felt easier, quicker, and
even more fun than usual.
Remember this coming Saturday we are walking on Centre Island ,
so see you at the ferry docks at 7:45! Brunch will be at the Rectory Café at
11am. Please RSVP.
