Port Medway Gingerbread Lighthouse

An article entitled "Gingerbread by the Sea," appeared in today’s Chronicle Herald, reciting the magical memories of baking gingerbread houses. The author, Nadine Fownes, recounts how she "loved the pre-Christmas ritual of making and tasting the dough, rolling out pieces for the walls and roofs, gluing them together with icing and then plastering the whole thing with candies." This year, in "homage" to her Nova Scotian roots, Nadine baked a gingerbread lighthouse (pictured below) modelled after the lighthouse in Port Medway, Queens County.

Also below, is a picture of me taken at Port Medway Lighthouse in 2005, unbeknownst that I would become a seasonal resident of the area three years later.
