Figured it had been a while since I wandered
around the town so decided to take in a couple of stores in particular
that I had on my to do list :-)
Sarah was saying "Meoooowwww" which translated
into "Well if you've got that camera out you may as well take a couple of
pictures of the best looking cat in town" and so here are a couple of
poses :-)
Here is the daughter of the shop, Alison Lomon, because her
Mum is avoiding me :-) Actually she's just never there when I go up
but will try for a picture of her before I leave Kimberley. Mum and
Dad are both Scots!
You never know what you'll find in Kimberley
shops. This is of course the video rental store but you can have a coffee
and snack, buy some rather tasty home made preserves and even wee sweets
from Scotland.
Aways happens... here's Elma Stewart from
Scotland who runs the Black Bear Books & Video store and she decides to
shut her eyes at the last moment <sheesh> whu does tha always happen
to me???You can reach them by email at
blackbear@monarch.net
And another Internet cafe in the video store
would you believe. Also a very helpful member of staff that kindly wrote
down the name of the owner and her daughter but as she didn't write down
her own name I've gone and forgotten it. Mind you a wee bit camera
shy :-)
On the way back I came across this sign which
I thought would make a good photograph
Another interesting wee store to explore
and on the way to the City Bakery I passed
this interesting sign showing Brits that you can get Fish and Chips in
Kimberley :-)
And here is the City Bakery where I met Bruno
and a member of his staff. You know how us Scots like break and
cakes well there was certainly a great selection to try in here!
You can also visit his web site at
www.cyberlink.bc.ca/~citybakery
Too much sun in Kimberley but note the wee
picture on the back wall? Well it is actually a jigsaw puzzle which
I only noticed as I was leaving.
They also have a wee tea room at the back of
the shop
Major selection of cakes for all kinds of
occasions and here are a couple of Kimberley residents with a sweet tooth.
They bought three vanilla slices and a strawberry cake :-)
You can see the strawberry cakes have around
four strawberires unlike the single strawberry we get in Scotland and here
is just some of the bread on offer
And just some of the awards they've won and
isn't that a great bread basket?
And to finish off here is a solid chocolate
boot and chocolate beer bottles.
On the way out of town I noted this Ice Cream
shop had finally opened up for the Summer so took the opportunity to take
a couple of pictures
And as you can see from the sign they do more
than just ice cream!
And on the way back home I noted things have
got a lot greener and the flowers are coming out so took a few photos on
my way back
And a big construction job making a wee house
into a bigger house :-) Down this street houses are a wee bit more
expensive due to being within walking distance to the pub [grin]
Later in the night I popped up to the Ozone
pub with Billy, Debbie and Donald and took a few more photos...
First pic is Cindi who thanks to new owners of
the Ozone pub is now the Manager so well done Cindi! Second picture
is Paul and Bob and I took them from the other side of the bar so you can
see their usual pose :-)
And new friends although you'll note one is
rather camera shy :-) You may also note Donald sneeking into the picture
on the left!
And two very important pictures. First is
Michey who makes all the pizzas and is a very important person to know at
the Ozone and beside him is chef extraordinaire who makes top class Steak
sandwiches. On the right is Mo a local RCMP with his wife on their night
out celebrating their first wedding aniversary. I didn't manage to
get a pictute with the flowers that Mo had bought for her but it was
obviously a grand night out as they'd just popped in after to top class
dinner :-)
And as it was 9.00pm and I just happened to
find myself in the middle of the Plaza I thought it might be a good
opportunity to take a few shots looking right, left and up and you'll note
I have no sense of direction :-)
And thought I'd just show that in Kimberley
they grow their own trucks :-) |
