September 23, 2016. Western Head, Nova Scotia. An Excursion.

Our goal was to have a dish of ice cream at the Grocery Store and Cafe in Port Medway.  The day was glorious, a perfect September day.  We had not yet enjoyed their ice cream this season, so after lunch we all four agreed on a short excursion to Port Medway.  To get there we drove the shore road, which is longer but pretty.  The sea was calm with no wind.

The grocery store has been expanded to accommodate more lunch people.  Evidently, at lunch they are crowded.  We got there at 3:30 so ordered our ice cream and sat on their new screened porch at the back to eat our ice cream,.  George built the porch.  Rita treated us all.  Three folks had doubles and one a single scoop.  The bill was $8.00.   We came home one the highway.

When in Liverpool we stopped for fruit and vegetables at Valerie's outdoor market, down by the river.  A new man was selling bread so we now have excellent dark bread, all thanks to Rita in addition to fruit.

When we got home, we sat and drank a beer on the deck.  The evening was beautiful and warm.   Our excursion was delightful all thanks to Ian who drove.  Small excursions are the best.
