We spent two busy nights and days at their rented house in Milford where they hosted us with the most delicious dinners (wild salmon Nicoise salad, soft multigrain bread, lemon tarragon risotto and homemade strawberry pie), chilled local Waupoos wine and tours around the county. We discovered an old-fashioned bakery in Picton (plus an old school Stedman's department store), visited an artist's co-op, and had coffee at the Bean Counter Cafe, picked up a stack of second-hand books for Ella, shopped at the Milford Market, walked along Sandbanks, climbed massive dunes, popped into the Mad Dog Gallery, played with Devi, my dog-niece, and gazed out at the still water from their tidy dock.
I'm back in Ottawa now, for two more slower-paced days before heading back home to DC.
