Glorious Guelph
One of the best outings on my recent trip to Canada was a
visit to the beautiful city of Guelph, Ontario with my brother.
My main reason for visiting Guelph was its connection with
my home town of Greenock. The founder of
Guelph, John Galt actually lived in Greenock and is buried here. Here is his statue in Guelph.
There were some beautiful old buildings and shops in Guelph. There is a bookshop called Macondo Books
(visit their fabulous Facebook page) which I could have spent hours in. Will
tell you about the books I bought in another post.
This building particularly intrigued me - from a distance
the top looks like a thistle. Wonder what it was and why
it is so dilapidated?
My brother and I had a lovely meal in the Albion Hotel -
fabulous.
A great day out and some lovely memories. Would really like to spend a few days there
next time! Thanks for taking me there,
Bro!
Love, Liz

Loved the strange old building- rather made me want to restore it and use it as a studio.
I thought of you yesterday as I used my super tea-cosy.
Happy Halloween!
