WAKEFIELD - a drive in the country


My cousin was visiting for the weekend and I wanted to show off Ottawa. It was a rainy, cold spring day so anything outdoors was out of the question and she was not into museums.  What to do?
We took a leisurely drive to the country and ended up in Wakefield.  Along the way, we stopped to show her the Wakefield covered bridge.  To our pleasure and surprise there was a wedding ceremony taking place and we were there just in time to watch the bride walk down the ‘aisle’ from the road to meet the groom waiting undercover of the bridge.  How special!

The rain did not stop us from wandering in and out of the funky little shops and then stopping for lunch at my favourite eclectic restaurant, Le Hibou.  All in all, a great afternoon.
