Labour Day Weekend - Me and Gypsy at the River...

Sept. 2nd to Sept. 5th




I was talking to a friend a few weeks ago and could not decide what to do for the long weekend.  They have a beautiful Cottage on the River Phillip and suggested I go there for the weekend?  What a great idea! 

I lucked out again, found this wonderful private camping site!  The funny thing is I have know this cottage for years before my friends ever bought it!  I use to go to Pugwash with other friends to their cottage every year and whenever we went to Oxford, I would always look down from the road and envy the folks that appeared to have such a great cottage!  Then Brenda told me one day they were buying a cottage just outside Oxford and it was an A frame!

 

 

 They have a back porch that is right on the river and it is all screened in!  You can just sit there for hours watching the wildlife go by!  So quiet and  pristine!  The guys are just sitting there talking waiting for us fools to get back from our tubeing adventure.















We learned a very important lesson.  Tubeing here is not like tubeing in the valley!  Especially when it is on a Tidal River...hahahahaha  We left about 2 hours before the tide was full?  Although we were quite a bit up the river, the tide still reaches up the river and really slows going down the river, like yeh, pushes you back up the river.  lol

 Sunday night, the river was dead calm!

 

 




 The driveway is 1/2 a km twisting by a field to get in.  The birds a lovely to hear and see.  All in all I had an absolutely great weekend, really enjoyed my hosts, their other guests and just the peace and tranquility!

Weather:  Hot and Sunny all weekend.  Friday night temp dropped to 13, Saturday was around 18 and Sunday night 22!  too hot for sleeping and no wind.

Cost:  Be a good guest, pull your weight!  The Host cooks for you so at least you can do the dishes if she lets you??   Too bad for the rest of you, it is by invitation only//:-))
