Nicholas Kennedy, neighbourly bbq, Relay For Life

In an earlier Blathering, I mentioned meeting Nicholas Kennedy from Trip Print Press at Doors Open. Since then, I've been researching more about the letterpress process and have also interviewed Nicholas for blogTO. Do check out the interview, which was posted online this morning:

Nicholas Kennedy and the Black Art Of Letterpress

Jeff and I both had fun at the annual neighbours' bbq/picnic last night. It's our third year; the first was after we got possession of the house but before we officially moved in. I remember how nervous I was, meeting many of the neighbours for the first time! Would they like us? Would we like them? The answer was yes to both questions, fortunately, and I feel tremendously lucky to be part of this little community.

We set up tables and chairs on the street, with everyone contributing something to the meal. Last night, I discovered that one of my neighbours, professional musician David McLachlan,
used to do gigs with Lloyd Landa. It looks like David's going to be performing at the Renaissance Cafe, the same venue as Heather Dale last month. I'm hoping to go, depending on cottage plans.
