Luxury getaways to the ocean's edge
A hearty Happy Birthday and a hearty thanks, too, to the Heart’s Delight -Islington Volunteer Fire Department, which just celebrated 40 years of service. These brave souls are invaluable to our community, and the very picture of service. Their gift from the province was a big new truck. Sure to be well received, and remember – fire detectors save lives, so go check yours right now!
As you may have already read, we’ve been updating our cottages, making them more our ‘own,’ and that has meant new furniture. Which of course also has meant a basement full of old furniture not being used. In steps the Heart’s Delight – Islington Volunteer Fire Department, who took all 4 truck and 2 trailer-loads to use for their fire training house, which they use for real-life training. Any extra will be given to those in need in the area.
We had a ball moving all the furniture as we got to meet some local firemen. What a great bunch of people out here! 
Then on Saturday, we celebrated Joe’s birthday with close friends and family and a marshmallow roast – a 2om to 2am type affair, so lots of fun! And again, the local firemen were involved, this time delivering 12 roast beef dinners as part of a fundraising campaign. At $7 a pop and really delicious, we were happy to oblige! It was a wonderful weekend, I hope yours was too, and Happy Birthday once again to Joe (who’s doing it right in this picture – wine in one hand, cake in the other!)
