We planned quite some time ago to bomb down to Wolfville this weekend, for a little getaway. Unfortunately, on Friday night, Mother Nature decided to spring a freak early snowstorm on us. We got nearly 30 cm of snow by Saturday morning, which put the kibosh on plans to head out early and take in the Wolfville Farmers' Market. After A. spent several hours digging out the car and then cutting a path out to the main road, we got on our way by early afternoon.
On arrival, however, our B&B (the aptly-named Gingerbread House Inn) did look like something off a biscuit tin. The photo above was taken this morning, outside the doors of our suite. It was all very wintery and picturesque. Plus, we had a great meal last night at Tempest Restaurant. The chef has recently returned from a two-week Slow Food conference near Milan, and to mark the occasion was offering a four-course Northern Italian tasting menu last night. Delicious stuff - though a guilty pleasure as one of the courses was tagliatelle served with stewed rabbit sauce. I thought of our evil foster-bun Gnasher while enjoying it...hehe.
