CLASSIQUE CARS AT TERRACOTTA VILLAGE

In my never-ending fondness for antique cars, it was satisfaction guaranteed to make my day when two Ford classics slowed down at the T-junction of Winston Churchill and 133 King Street at the Terracotta Village in Caledon. My curiosity was fulfilled with a sudden burst of joy as the twin pair of these fine models pulled up into the driveway of Terracotta Country Store, also to the delight of the people attending the 2nd Annual Buzzfest Arts & Crafts Show.

These beautiful and admirable Fords, in absolutely fine and immaculate condition, are owned by Kim Dawson and Daavid Sintzel. I had the pleasure of meeting these two gentlemen who later visited participants at the show, and also tasted and purchased Edna's Pickles.

Vintage cars always make my day.

When Autumn Leaves Start to Fall


Autumn begins today as we say goodbye to a summer that to some, never was. Nevertheless, the autumn leaves will soon start to fall - one by one - they must fall, but before that the leaves must change and present nature's array of trees in brilliant colour shades - a gamut of myriad hues with backdrop of blue skies. As the summer leaves, autumn leaves must fall!

Glimpses of Word On The Street, Tony Fernandes,Toronto

Glimpses of
'Word On The Street National Book
& Magazine Festival'
 (25th Edition)
 held on 21 Sep 2014
 at Queen's Park Circle, Toronto. 

Although at one point I feared that 'Word on the Street' (WoTS) would turn into 'Water on the Street' ,considering a horrible weather forecast, it turned out to be an overall nice day. We were lucky to have been blessed with sunshine in the afternoon to set a happy mood. Edna and I are proud to have participated in this well organized Festival. We were also very fortunate to have good and friendly neighbours, who with their wit and wisdom helped us get through a beautiful day.

And that's not all. We were surprised by yet another visitor of a different kind - one that was on the move - and it was none other than a bus called 'Dahlia' that appeared out of nowhere on a street near our booth, and we aptly called it 'Dahlia's Bus On The Street'. Why? Because Dahlia happens to be my daughter. What a coincidence and what a day!
