Port Hope doesn't feel like a seaside village. Now Cobourg next door is a VERY typical seaside town. The waterfront is lovely. You can't even find the waterfront in Port Hope unless you live here.
Port Hope is an old mill town that got stuck in time. All the mills and riverside factories are gone now, replaced by riverside parks. The downtown is one of the best preserved in Ontario. Over the last few years, a subdivision has been built to the west of the downtown that doubled the size of Port Hope and we have had growing pains because of that.
We still have some of the heaviest polluting factories close to the lake, which is why no one goes to our waterfront.

It looks like you’ve all been busy chatting on here. ThTs nice. Today when I got up it was white frost all over, and the sky was heavy. So I thought 💭 I’d better decide what I’m doing about provisions. I looked at Albert photograph on the wall, and said, why aren’t you here to take me to the shops, I didn’t get an answer as usual. However a little voice in my own head said, I should go there sooner than later, so I went at 11am instead of noon.

I got there and some of the shelves were totally bare. I substituted, and managed anyway, there were lots of staff trying to pack up shelves. It looked to me that they’d had a delivery 🚚. Cashier helped me pack, they are so kind in asdas. I got my coffees so I’ll last a while. When I came out of the 🏬 it was snowing heavens hard and I could hardly see in front of me. Where I live I have 3 very steep banks 🏦 to fight with and it’s common in the winter to close them. They get so dangerous very quickly. But I was brave and came home carefully and I’m fine. So now, I can eat and hibernate. Brrrrr.

I’m getting such enjoyment out of my sudoku books 📕 I’m a happy grandma 👵 however…..In the morning I shall have to clean my fridge out because if I leave it any longer. It will get up and walk away. Stay safe girls, love yawl. Xx
