anniversary

It has been exactly a year since my last post over here and look where I am again.

 

This time the dratted east gate was open!

We listened to some War of 1812 re-enacters play God Save the Monarch and wandered about a bit.

My Dad has lots of friends at Fort York. They treated us to a coffee.

The city treated everyone to water.

And the best willow ever provided the shade.

After Fort York we walked to the lake

and paid tribute to a more recent war.

(I forgot my camera so these are all phone pics.)

As part of this year's Luminato Festival, this installation was created at Fort York.

You can still see the beloved sign from Fort York

but you have to be quick!

The Bathurst entrance to Fort York has been locked for over a year now, much to my father's chagrin. He now has to walk all the way around the Fort from the Bathurst streetcar stop.

But wait a minute, why is this bike locked here?

Turns out that this guy has another approach.
