A few weeks ago we drove to Meaford, today we drove to Thornbury, 13 kilometers south of Meaford also on Georgian Bay. We drove from Walkerton through the beautiful Beaver Valley and past the orchards as drove into Thornbury. Being from "the south" I didn't realize that Thornbury was known for it's apples and apple cider. Now that I know about the cider I think I may just have to buy me some and try it out.
First stop was the habour --- a nice enough harbour as harbours go but I did think Meaford harbour was prettier.
As we approached Thornbury the density of clouds increased as did the feel of impending rain. That probably explained why most of a boats were in the harbour and not out on the water.
After an enjoyable lunch, we checked out the antique mart. Lots of interesting things .... but $18 for a Home Hardware yardstick seemed a bit much.
Luckily the rain held off till we were leaving the antique mart so we were able to put the sports car's roofs up before the interiors got wet. As we drove inland the rain stopped and we were able to stop and find a couple of geocaches.
Driving down the hill in Walkerton we noticed fog/smoke/mist sitting over the town. The blocked roads and detour signs led to the conclusion that it was smoke. A neighbour confirmed this telling us Rob's Sports Bar had caught fire.
