Warkworth, Ontario
25th of August 2011. day 102, Tuesday
We slept in. The thunder and lightening storm last night was just too much.
At about 11am we packed a lunch, and took off in the search of Warkworth, ON, somewhere north of Brighton. Anders wanted to visit the Cheeky Bee Gallery. Their owners are making Bees Wax Candles.
Very nice country side driving up to Workworth on Hwy 25 |
Rolling hills and cornfields. |
Warkworth is such a surprise to us. It is about an hour and a half drive from Toronto in the middle of nowhere. But obviously it is discovered, small but oho! It is such a pretty little town with good stores and friendly genuine people. We talked to many of the stores' people, they were all very knowledgeable and professional.

Down the road " Mrs. McGarrigle's Fine Food" is an amazing kitchen gadget and fine food store. Sheila Wright, the owner is also a writer. " Amare" is one of her books. We bought a signed copy. It is a wonderful life story.
After Warkworth we headed north to Curve Lake Indian Reserve and to the Whetung Gallery. That gallery was chuck-full of native art. One could shop for a half a day in there. This Kawartha Lake area is very serene and beautiful.
