Sidney July 23, 2011

Glenn and I took advantage of good weather days and sometimes went on picnics. On this day we picked up fish 'n' chips at Salty's in Sidney and set up at a picnic table by the water. Glenn said it was the best halibut he remembered having.

My sister and I had a good visit in Sidney with our almost-90-year-old Dad on this day.

I didn't know Sidney has its own flag, but it does.

Down by the fish market we saw some new statues.

The pirate has it all - peg leg, hooked hand, eye patch.

There is also this amusing dog walker.

Interlude - Chips & Vinegar

Saturday August 29, 2009

Glenn and I did something we have actually never done before - ate French fries outside. Yes, like picnic. We happened to park in front of Salty's Fish & Chips in Sidney and bought some to go, then walked to the shore and ate them at a picnic table.

You may remember there was a nice gazebo in the little park by the wharf. Gone. In its place is this structure - a bandshell perhaps.

Sidney is in desperate need of some shady spots along its waterfront. Trees would do wonders to soften the somewhat austere, sterile look but some owners of the ever-increasing condos might complain if they blocked their view.
