Canada seems to be a lands of contradiction. It is a bit hard to explain. The average person you meet is nice enough, but they start to get defensive when I let them know I am from the US. Now, I admit I got a little cranky when my glass of iced tea was abot 2.85 Canadian, and it was an 8oz. Cup, but when the refill meant I bought another one, well, you KNOW how much I like my iced tea!
And don't get me started on how most of the aces only offer bottled teas- bleah.
For a provine thet touts ther English background, one would think they wouldn't tolerate that poor excuse for tea!
Oh my, but Burlington has some exquisite homes, very British in style and look. Fabulous abodes, at least from the outside (and many with accent here sound a bit British) then there are a few homes, either new, or being built that seem to be architecture gone wild, combining elements that make roccoco look a bit tame....slap some bullion fringe on that bad boy and call it style...
a place of contradiction, though I am sure they say that about us.
Well, I hope this rain gets done tomorrow so the weekend is clear for the event, and right now I am happy that I packed more wool than linen to wear, though that could change by Saturday.

  1. Sounds interesting. And I do know how much you love your tea. Rain there, but getting much warmer here.

  2. Tea here is hot, we have teabags, no need to pack them. Iced tea is more of a soft drink like lemonade.
