Good weather brings out the walkers
A gloriously mild and sunny day brought out a bunch of our walkers on Tuesday. We’ll enjoy these beautiful opportunities to bask in the sunshine and in each other’s company even as the temperature dips. If you enjoy walking and intelligent talk, come join our club!
We love good food! Dining out group!
20 women from our dining out group enjoyed a wonderful and leisurely dinner at Speekezzies Cafe and Wine Bar in Brantford. The food was delicious, as you can see in a few of our choices pictured below. The conversation and laughter was a pleasure, as always.
What might the green be roasting with these baby potatoes?
What might the green be roasting with these baby potatoes? If the Creative Cooking Group is serving rack of lamb, the answer is rosemary and mint straight out if the garden.
Book group
Four of us were able to attend the book discussion group over lunch yesterday, but we were able to talk about a dozen or so books. Marian brought her copy of Significant Lives, which was self-published by our club a number of years ago. She was on the committee to produce it and told us many interesting anecdotes.
Leslie took notes with her beautiful script:
Dining out group
Our Dining out group went to Pinecroft yesterday…. A quintessential autumn delight. The drive on the backroads included fields of pumpkins and forests in dazzling reds, oranges and golds. Pinecroft is a cluster of log cabins nestled in the woods, complete with pottery studio, gift shop and restaurant. The food was sourced locally and beautifully prepared. Homemade soups, grilled cheese and BLTs, top notch Caesar salad (possibly my new gold standard!), and so much more. I think we were high on autumn because the laughter and joy at the table was ….delicious!
Walking group with attitude!

Biking group in Waterford
The biking group makes a favourite stop on the Waterford trail. The CFUW biking group cycle weekly from May to Sept.
August book group!
It was such an enjoyable lunch and book chat today, with varied discussions and a bevvy of books! The photo shows some of them, although the one on the left with the lavender book mark was not read, even though the author was at the table. That’s because this is the Ukrainian language edition of Marsha’s novel, Stolen Girl! Jean, our resident historian, brough three fascinating older books, shown above: Man and his world, which we all remembered from high school, Herstory III and a charmingly illustrated book called Still Glides the Stream. Norah told us about the book she’s reading, pictured above, called Lady in Waiting, and she’s really enjoying it. Our newest participant, Jeanne, had an eclectic and interesting variety:
Leslie also had some interesting books:
As did Marsha:
