As we drive on Highway #1 from Bridgetown East, we keep a lookout for the Alpacas. Will they be outside in the snow or in their house? We speculate on the ownership, perhaps Wools on the Corner, Heather suggests.
On the right-hand side, we stop at D’Aubin Family Meats to buy sausages and bacon.
We notice that there are cars parked in front of the Bridgetown Motor Inn. JFW tells me that it is the meeting place for the morning coffee club. The Inn is operating under new ownership.
A couple of times a year, I have to stop at Bridgetown Watch and Clock repair. David changes the battery, replaces the watch strap. Stop at the Bank of Nova Scotia to pick up some cash. (It was only yesterday, that I witnessed the closure of the branch in Middleton).
At The Endless Shores Books, there is a chance to check out local authors from Moose House Publications and Bailey Chase Books.
On Thursdays, late afternoon, I can stop at the PharmaSave to pick up a copy of the Reader and the Register. The Reader, published by TAR, is a free weekly paper serving the communities and people of Annapolis County.
Stop at Integrity Printing to obtain a hard copy of my 2021 blogs.
My last stop would be the Bridgetown library, especially if I wanted to read Ernest Buckler or David Manners, both local authors who wrote about the town and country.
I wonder when they will reopen The Station. I stand corrected, The Station is open Wednesday through Sunday. (Thanks, Jane for the correction)
Leaving town, I must decide whether to visit friends in Centrelea or head back home, along Highway #201, past the Eden Golf and Country Club in West Paradise, Burnbrae Farm and Paradise Inn.
Finally, home …
Postscript
At COGS in Lawrencetown, we teach Esri GIS software. Specifically, the use of ’story maps’. In this case, in collaboration with Edward Wedler, I wanted to produce a ‘map story’. The story is about Bridgetown. The map is one way of sharing that story about a special place.
