Family photo from WW1 era


This photo of my wife Linda's Scott ancestors is not a Remembrance Day photo, as such, but I thought I would present it here and now because it has a direct connection to the WW1 era and there is an excellent WW1 exhibit currently on display at the King Heritage & Cultural Centre.   It was taken on Jane Street, south of Kinghorn, at the home Lewis W. James Scott.   I do not know the exact date of the photo, but judging by the three family members in uniform, it was early in the 1900s.   The elderly couple in the centre of the back row are James and Edith Scott and there are four generations of  their family in the photo.   The soldiers are husbands of James and Edith's granddaughters.  This house still stands today on the west side of Jane Street, south of the Kingsbridge Centre.  There are a number of Scott descendants still about in the King area.

Locale Restaurant to celebrate 5th Anniversary

      Photos by Barry Wallace 
Locale Restaurant, at the four corners in King City, will celebrate five years in business, early in December.  It was a success from its opening day on December 11, in 2012, and is thriving to this day.  Success begets success it seems because the folks at Locale are opening a new restaurant on Yonge Street in the south end of the Town of Aurora.   Opening should be some time in November, but certainly before the end of the year.

Hallowe'en grandkids...


                                                                                                          Photo by their daddy
Please indulge me, dear reader, while I show you a Hallowe'en photo of three of my grandchildren, who live near Ottawa.   Looks like little brother, Malcolm, caught his sisters, Brawley and Emondine, stealing Hallowe'en treats.
