Rain, Rain Go Away

 

Ok I am going to say this  mark my words  I prefer  SNOW   !!  to this damp dull  dark mucky sloppy wet rain with fog . It has been dull damp and rainy for days at least SNOW is bright and the sun comes out more often but this stuff BLAH ,   BOO  , YUCKY !!  The temps have been mild up to + 6C I can handle that but the actual rainy weather NOT !!  I just can get into the Christmas spirit with this YUCKY weather and gloom hanging around  and it maybe mild but it is that get right to the bone dampness that just cuts like a knife  .  Not very pleasant weather for getting out and taking photos either !

                                                                   Rain drops on the tree  are pretty !

        But even our birdies are scares in this weather  can ya blame them who wants to eat and be all wet !

                                   Even the valley seems to look bogged down with all the rain , fog and dampness !

                            This is the rainiest dampest December I can remember ever having !  Oh well it is what it is  .

                                                          

                                                             Oh Miggs you look wet did you rolly polly again ? .

                                                                                     Until next time .

Christmas Brunch At Elm Hurst Inn & Spa

 

  Earlier today we went to a lovely Inn in the town of Ingersoll  about half an hours drive called the Elm Hurst Inn  &  Spa , a wonderful big old Victorian mansion  .  Some of our neighbours who are also our friends , Papa  , myself and his parents  get together every Christmas time for a meal , chat and a laugh .  Sometimes it is at each others homes for pot luck Christmas and sometimes it is at this wonderful Inn !

                                                  We were the first to arrive along  with Papa’s mom and dad .

Then more and more  neighbours started to show up , The brunch was a beautiful buffet of everything you could think of to eat  from eggs and bacon , sausage , roasts ! potatoes , salads of every kind and deserts oh my , tea and coffee was poured by our lovely waitress and we had champagne and orange juice mix called a Mimosa  YUMMY !  and the plates were whisked away as soon as you were done for the next round .  Oh my we left with our bellies stuffed , it was wonderful food and folk ! The Inn was very busy to , lots of other  people enjoying the same buffet and atmosphere  .

We had a total of 16 people in our party and each party has their own dining room and each room has it’s own name , we were in the Prince Of Wales room . This was our lovely waitress below !

                       Papa took some photos and I took some as well we brought our little  point and shoot !

                                                                          Yup that's me on  the right !

        The inside and  outside of this Inn is so dreamy  and the land scape that surrounds it is in a woods setting  , I love it !

 

 

                                                                          This building above is the spa !

                          It was nice to see everyone mingle , laugh , chat and enjoy the YUMMY ! food . So that was our Sunday mid morning early after noon Christmas get together  treat .  No supper for us to night we are stuffed  , a nap sounds good  right about now lol !  I would of liked to of had snow for these outdoor photos of this Inn but it is lovely just the same !
