Some candied apples in a bakery - we resisted the temptation but was it hard!

Jennifer - note the matching colours there!
My friend Jennifer and I went on a lovely day trip to this area. We brought our thermos full of coffee, our own sandwiches and cookies and spent a wonderful time looking around at the colourful leaves, the beautiful water scenes and the quaint little shops in Niagara on the Lake.
We dropped in at a fantastic book warehouse in St. Catherine's called Vanwell Publishing Limited, which is opposite Happy Rolph's. It was a very interesting experience for me and I found some books which I will give as presents in the future. My friend had been there before.
Apparently, their main focus is publishing war related books. They carried other kinds of books as well and at marvelous prices! They also had an army surplus store.
They were extremely friendly people and very nice to deal with.
Jennifer knew the area very well and we did a delightful tour in her car and saw some of the local highlights of the areas. So many vineyards and delightful fruit stands to see.
We spent a number of hours in Niagara on the Lake and it was great to be there again after about 30 years away!
We loved poking about in the many little shops and we enjoyed chatting with some of the merchants who were very friendly to us.
The roads were not as crowded as we had anticipated on the way there or even on the way back to Hamilton.
Even though there was no hint of sunlight the whole time we were there, it was still warm enough to check out the various shops and enjoy people watching.
All in all, a fantastic time!
