Villages and Hamlets...

Old Villages turn me on...

This sweet little Hamlet of Ashton, is just up-the-line a bit, from Ottawa and well worth the drive, on a Sunday afternoon, or Anytime, for that matter. :-) The little General store here is run by nice friendly folk that are Happy to be able to help you with whatever. Yes sir, that Friendly, old fashioned attitude, still pervades in these tucked away spots, just off our main highways and byways friend. If You can appreciate older, kooler stuff and friendy folks, then by all means take a tour out to the countryside soon and scope out these Hamlets and old Villages while they are still here for us to enjoy...

Entering Ashton Ontario

The Main Drag...

Christ Church - Ashton

I'm drawn to these time capsules like a deer is drawn to a cold, sweet and pure spring in his forest. Every single building (no exceptions) in this quaint corner of the planet, has Many, many stories to tell. For a place of this size, I'm just floored with how many churches they have there. Was it the only town in Ontario, I ponder, to have everyone in it, a Christian of some flavor? Hey, God Is Good so that would have been pretty Cool back then. At least ya didn't have to fight all the heathens and Philistines, eh? :-)

An old landmark...



Have a great day friends,
