Card Party

It has been only two weeks since my offer to purchase the former Wesley United Church was accepted, and already we have spent a great deal of time exploring the area.

On Tuesday August 12th, the day before sailing commenced for Chester Race Week, I took a leisurely drive along route 331, stopping at many places along the way. One stop was Cherry Hill Beach; a pristine, white sand beach only 7km from East Port Medway. Upon my departure, I noted a card party at the adjacent United Communities Fire Hall, and decided to partake in an evening of 45s.

I was warmly welcomed by area residents from surrounding communities, and look forward to honing my card playing skills in future games held in this and many other neighbouring fire halls and community centres.
