Stillwaters, Paris ON

Date: June 17, 2020 
Place: Stillwaters Plate & Pour 

----- 

After three months of isolation and looking at the words closed, closed, closed everywhere, I quickly reserved a patio table at Stillwaters when I heard restaurants were opening. I first heard of Stillwaters in a Facebook post. 


Such an inviting view!
 

After looking over the one-page menu, I decided on the chef’s soup of the day—cream of cauliflower with cheddar. The flavour was perfect for me, not too salty; the texture was creamy; the presentation was inviting. It arrived hot. 

As soon as customers left, the tables were sanitized, and the plates were cleared away quickly. I never felt rushed. The restaurant patio is spacious, and umbrellas provide shade. There was no loud music—which I appreciated. I recommend making reservations.

Parking: free street parking

Summary: Left me with a favourable I’ll-be-back impression!

The Windmill Country Market

Date Visited: July 4, 2018
Place/City: The Windmill Country Market, Mount Pleasant, ON
-----
What a treat to spend time in this establishment!
 

I experienced fast service, looked through an inexpensive menu board, sat in a large seating area, and browsed to my heart's content in their downstairs and upstairs store where I picked cottage furniture for my vision board. I am definitely returning to enjoy another meal.

Intro

I adore finding cafes, restaurants, nature trails, waterfalls, unique stores, art galleries, and more in the Hamilton/Burlington/Dundas area. Discovering places helps make every day enjoyable for me and for my camera ;). I'll be sharing photos, haiku, restaurant reviews, and anything else I can think of.

Grimsby Waterfront Trail

Today I made a quick jaunt to The Grimsby Waterfront Trail--.quick because of the heat. I was delighted to see how clear the water was. Not a weed in sight. At the top is a large parking lot, a gazebo with picnic tables. You reach the beach by descending a ramp. There's plenty of shady places to enjoy.



Along the rock wall are stones, branches, and trees that waves jammed into the rock. I would have missed this had it not been for my companion's eagle eye. It's fascinating to see what washes up on shore!
