Off we went to Carleton Place. I had an appointment for a haircut. Before and after! Yes, I know. Not much of a change!
Their water fountain is looking good.
There is an old quarry on the grounds. Often there are birds in it.
From there we went to lunch. It is a nice, enclosed porch. Sadly, for us, there was a noisy group of senior men we had to move from the other end of the room. Joe took out his hearing aids, and that helped. The guys nearest us were dropping F* Bombs, happily Joe Brian couldn't hear them. 😏
They are known for their fish and chips. I should have stuck to that. I think all the protein is deep fried. I took half home for dinner the next night. The pasta was over cooked.
While the restaurant overlooks the lake, we drove into a couple of these developments that aren't on the water. Joe Brian thought they'd run about a million apiece. Yeppers! They are pricey!
You can tell by the size of the lots. It's close to the highway and commuting distance into Ottawa. The lots are enormous by today's standards.
One can see how the older homes have trees and gardens.
From there we drove to see the water. Rideau Canal, Beveridges Locks. It was a nice walkabout.
