Brudenell River Golf Course Hole By Hole
This is my fifth post from a recent trip to Prince Edward Island and will feature a hole by hole description of Brudenell River Golf Course. I’ve posted previous hole by holes for Mill River and Dundarave, both of which are simply excellent courses in the best shape they’ve been in in many a year […]

This is my fourth post from a recent visit to Prince Edward Island and will feature a number of places Alison and I visited between and after golf games at the two Brudenell River courses.

Dundarave Hole by Hole – Just Amazing
In my first post from a trip to Prince Edward Island a few years ago I featured a hole by hole post on the wonderful course at Mill River. From here Alison I moved east to Brudenell River Resort. While the resort itself was closed due to the Covid restrictions that have prevented it from […]

The Forks – Winnipeg’s Kick Ass Destination
I used to live in Winnipeg – the key words being ‘used to’. Frankly, I couldn’t wait to get out of the place when I moved to Nova Scotia to attend law school and that’s where I’ve remained ever since. However, I still have family and friends in Winnipeg and have returned many times over […]

Mississagi River Valley – Ontario at Its Best
I’m driving along the Trans-Canada Highway in northern Ontario passing towns I haven’t thought about since I lived in the small company town of Lively, just outside of Sudbury, more years ago than I care to confess to.

Gardening runs in my family and is one of my favourite pastimes, but so is visiting famous gardens such as I recently did in Philadelphia’s Longwood Gardens and South Carolina’s Brookgreen Sculpture Gardens. I first learned of Butchart Gardens from a grade 4 or 5 reader that featured stories of life in Canada from coast […]
