Tuesday morning found me at Northumberland Heights Wellness Spa with my stitchery guild. We were there for a one day retreat. We were given a large sunny room with a view to work in, and all the coffee, tea, and water we liked.
The room is actually twice the size as the picture shows, we only used about half of it. But it overlooked a large greenspace that had a firepit and fountain with seating around them.
We had a great time and even managed to get some stitching in. At noon we broke for lunch in the dining room, and then a few of us went for a walk on the grounds. There was a lot of green space, which I’m sure was used for activities during the warmer weather.
And at the far side of the greenspace we discovered a trail that led to a beautiful clearing with a patio and pergola that overlooked a large pond.
The trail continued on around the pond and into the woods. It took us about an hour to complete the trail, but it was with it. It was a well-kept trail and the woods were full of a variety of trees.
We got some more stitching in when we got back, and then at 4 o’clock we packed up our stitching and headed back to the dining room for high tea.
All in all, we had a fabulous day and I’m pretty sure there’s already plans being made for us to go back gain. This final picture was taken as we were leaving, looking down from the hills towards Lake Ontario.
