We see the most wonderful things on our walks
Sometimes a heron will aim right for your camera!
Would you eat this fungus? It is actually edible (Chicken of the Woods), and another walker (not from our group) snipped a bit of it off to take home and eat, I wonder how she dealt with the POISON IVY that surely had rubbed all over it!
Monday’s book group
Will that be perch, or pickerel? (and definitely pie for dessert!)
Perch and pickerel were the most popular choices at the Erie Beach Hotel in Port Dover this past July. The Cove Room continues its decades-long tradition of bringing celery bread and a variety of salads to the table — and for offering tempting desserts to top off the day.
A lovely way to end the 2025-26 Dining Out season.
Monday afternoon book group
There were six of us today but we discussed a whole whack of books, had a lovely lunch, and didn’t have to do dishes!
Lunch and chat and books books books!
Our Monday lunchtime book group has wide-ranging taste!
It’s about the friendships as much as it is about the exercise
Sometimes it’s too hot to walk, or too cold to walk. Sometimes it’s the perfect day to walk, but no matter what the weather, there’s always a group of our walkers who find the time to gather and chat. That activity in itself is so soul-rewarding. Thanks, Norah O, for the great photo.
We walk, we talk, we admire the view …
Last week it was frost warnings, and this week it was heat warnings. No matter the weather, we walk, we talk and we admire the view! It’s always a great outing for our walking group!
Our Monday lunchtime books
Our Valued Elders
CFUW Brantford is blessed to have a number of longtime members who can relate the rich history of our club, and also of Brantford itself. During the Monday lunchtime book group gathering, we were treated to an insight into the birth of the iconic Stedman Bookstore, beloved for generations by Brantfordians. The Stedman legacy continues to this day, in the form of funding good works throughout our community. Our cherished longtime member, Marian Weir, shared with us anecdotes and history about the birth of Stedman’s Bookstore and the Stedman Foundation.
