weekend retreat

Weekend account
We travelled south west from Ottawa on Friday, heading for the cottage that Caroline’s grandfather had built on the southern shore of Lake Sturgeon.
We left a little after 10am and made it after a couple of stops at around 4pm. The stops gave both myself and Caroline an opportunity to share the driving with her Aunt. Once out of the city lanes, we were on straight open roads with a speed limit of 80km/h which we were informed meant we could creep up to 90km/h.
We stopped a few miles short of our destination for some provisions, as there were no shops nearby, and was informed that the town of Omemee was where Scott Young (father of Neil Young) regularly wrote for the local paper and frequented the Canadian Legion Club. Apparently Neil spent erly years living here. I also noted a Rock & Roll Museum and a few other rock music references which were associated with the Neil Young connection.
The arrival at the cottage enabled us to view not only the cottage itself but also the surrounding properties which were different in design and size.
Best of all however, was the waterside view as we walked down across the lawn at the rear of the cottage. A few had boats moored on small jetty whilst we observed others being driven at high speed across the lake, which is a mile and half wide and around 23 miles long.
