Back in the day . . .

The current owners of the house in Ayr kindly loaned us some of the historical material associated with the house. The shutters are gone; they were sent out for painting and the place they were sent to burned down apparently, and the porches (sadly) have been replaced.





The boxes are filled with knitted socks and other accessories for Canadian soldiers in WWII

House Tour

We had a chance to tour our soon-to-be home and meet the current owners today. One of the current owners is the great grand daughter of the original owner and she had so much history to share and so many stories to tell. They are super nice. Here's a couple of quick pics from the garden walk about. Buying a house in January is sub optimal when it comes to evaluating the quality of the gardens. Well, we can mow say they are beautiful with many established beds and lots of potential for more!
