The Keg Steakhouse on Upper James street on Hamilton’s “Mountain” is one of those restaurants where you’re guaranteed to get a good steak without having to break the bank (but, seems good things don’t last long). After our last visit it should have been enough to confirm that the quantity and quality of their food [...]
It’s like exploring an enchanted forest with streaks of light forcing it’s way through the lush canopy of trees and spring wild flowers stretching out of the ground in an attempt to catch every second of these rays of sun from above. On our way back from St Jacobs we decided to explore the trails [...]
Have you been to the AGH (Art Gallery Of Hamilton) recently? It’s one of those places where there’s always something new and exciting to see and there are times when certain exhibitions are free to browse. More on that later. I’d never been to an art gallery before, but it was one of those things [...]

“Sir the clearance section is just over here”. I must radiated some sort of ray which gives people the impression that I’m either poor or a bargain rack shopper. As we entered the Lululemon store at Square One during our back to school shopping trip yesterday, the very first store associate that saw me, directed [...]

Immediately after our buffet breakfast at Stone Crock Restaurant, it was our plan to browse the many shops in the village and then head over to the Farmer’s Market, since that was the last stop on our way out of St Jacobs. I was stuffed from that magnificent breakfast and was really not in the [...]

One of the benefits of operating this website is that it gives us the opportunity to explore things we wouldn’t normally do before. One of then being, experimenting new tastes and flavours and with the wonderful multicultural landscape of Canada, there are so many options. Last Wednesday we spent a couple hours hiking Mt Nemo [...]

Last weekend I stopped by Ontario Place with no intention to do a review, but armed with a point and shoot camera I decided to take some pics and share some thoughts with you. Caribana, dubbed the largest street festival in North America moves the festivities to Ontario Place on the Sunday and Monday following [...]

Nothing signals that summer is here than feasting on a large plate of fish and chips at Hutch’s on the beach, after you’ve enjoyed the sights and sounds of all the activity at the beach. We had spent the morning trying to launch our friend’s sailboat and by noon we were getting frustrated, tired and [...]

After a lovely breakfast at Stone Crock Restaurant, we headed over to the St Jacobs Farmer’s Market, since this was the real reason for our day trip to St Jacobs. A vibrant market with over 600 vendors and aisle upon aisle of fresh produce from across Ontario and from local farm gardens. Plus, there’s meats, [...]

I finally got to see my footballing hero, Warren Moon’s dedication at the Canadian Football Hall Of Fame. Unlike most North American boys, I didn’t grow up watching football but I played, soccer, cricket and rugby. Only after moving to Canada some 20+ years ago did I fall madly in love with football. I’m first [...]

Absolutely one of the best 18 hole miniature golf course I’ve ever played. It was one of those hot and humid days where you just didn’t want to leave the refreshing cool air inside the car to venture out, however our visit to Adventure Village was put off the last two times we planned a [...]

Tucked away just off Airport Road in Mt Hope, within the Southern Pines Golf and Country Club and overlooking the golf course is The Pines Spa, where the focus of today’s review is getting a set of gel nail extensions. A very common procedure women get done at spas, but this was all new to [...]

We were told that if we were planing on visiting St Jacobs that we should try to arrive early, as it gets pretty crowded on the weekend especially with the wonderful weather in the forecast. Friends of ours had dined at the Stone Crock Restaurant on a previous trip to St Jacobs, so they suggested [...]
