Offsite Walk Update

It seems that Saturday October 14 is the date that suits the most people as some of us may be away for or deep into Thanksgiving prep. We will walk from Rosedale, starting near Craigleih Gardens down (very down) Milkman’s Lane and up the trail to the Brickworks, and beyond for those wanting the distance. Brunch afterwards is tbc. Suggestions are welcome.

Annual ShoreThings Potluck Party

Just a bit of notice that our annual gathering will take place on November 11 (easy to “remember”, right?), and again at Trish’s condo. Details to follow but mark your calendar, unless you have an official ShoreThings calendar, in which case it’s already there for you!

Speaking of which, Helen would love to get any special pictures to include in the 2024 edition so them her way, and let her know if you’d like to order one as well!

Weekly Walks

Another gorgeous Fall day in the offing so for let’s gather as we do for a fine walk and coffee afterward at Loblaw’s at 8. Picnic tabling may still be possible. Let’s enjoy every minute we can before forced indoors.

Happy Birthday Wishes

This Thursday is Helen’s birthday! Let’s all send her our best wishes.

Offsite Walks

There appears to be interest in walking in the Brickworks area to catch Fall colours – yes it will be when we next walk. It could be October 7, Thanksgiving weekend, but if that is too busy a time, then the following Saturday perhaps?

Starting points could be:

  • Rosedale near Craigleigh Gardens walking down Milkman’s Lane and north to the Brickworks. Pros: free parking on the street. Cons: big hill, need to drive somewhere for brunch at return if that is desired
  • The Brickworks going north or south (tbd). Pros: choice of route, place to eat at end on site. Cons: paid parking, can be very busy.

Let us know your thoughts in the comments or WhatsApp.

Weekly Walks

Saturday starts off cool but will warm up nicely by mid day. Think layers. We meet at our usual time and place. Post walk gather could still be the picnic table if the air warms up enough and the wasps aren’t out in full force.

Offsite for Fall Colours

Time to start thinking of a good spot that would feature lots of Autumn foliage. Suggestions welcome either in the comments or in person in the next week. Results will be posted and a date confirmed as soon as we have options or consensus.

Weekly Walks

By the time this post is published, the wandering group pictured below will be back in town, and we look forward to sharing our experiences with fellow walkers on Saturday morning from Loblaw’s. The usual time of course. The weather looks great too. Can’t say we’re sorry to have missed the Toronto heat wave.

Birthdays

Happy birthday to Alexis today (publication day Friday). We’d love to see you back on the trails, anytime! Best wishes as well to Margie and Denise whose special day is this coming Wednesday.
