Country Roads, Celebrating Life in Hastings County

Old Hay Bay Church | Ontario, Canada
Last night I browsed through hundreds of house photos taken when my love and I spent a week wandering the city in 2017. Seems like yesterday. In truth, I suspect Denis indulged me well beyond his capacity for appreciating architecture, as we trudged through most of the Victoria Heritage Foundation 's neighbourhood walking tour guides. It's a time I am looking back on today with a full heart.
Back in 2017 I wrote about our James Bay neighbourhood B&B home base with our hosts the delightful Toshie and David. This neighbourhood occupies the 'home farm' land which provided food for the Hudson's Bay Company fort 'downtown', epicentre of the fur trade in the west in the 1840s .
But the focus of attention on several long walking days were the frame homes which for a red-brick Ontario girl, were exotic enough.
