Again, it's been a while - time is flying and we've been busy but we have had a great summer!
Here's a update for what we got up to in September. October and November to come soon -watch this space.
In early September we went to the Cabbagetown Festival which started off with a pancake breakfast at Riverdale Farm (city farm). Breakfast on a farm? We're in! We cycled up there on a very warm day to see what Cabbagetown had to offer.
Cabbage town gets its name from the vegetables the Irish immigrants used to grow in their front gardens - the cabbages probably stuck out more than the other veggies. The houses in Cabbage Town are some of the oldest in the city and Cabbagetown is "the largest continuous area of preserved Victorian housing in all of North America". You wouldn't know this lovely historic area was there as it's so close to the Downtown area. http://www.oldcabbagetown.com/
After our breakfast we wandered round the craft fair and then went on a historic homes tour. Here are some of the gorgeous houses we saw!
There was also a massive street festival where we took in some lovely food, cold pop and street performers.
We did a lot of cycling in September, including cycling to work. One of our trips was along the water front to the Beaches. We cycled along a stretch of the Martin Goodman trail on the water front and enjoyed the fresh air.
One night, we were watching some Youtube clips of Bill Bailey and we Googled him -only to find out that he was playing in Toronto in the next few weeks. We went straight to Ticketmaster and bought 2 of the last tickets - who wouldn't! The gig was awesome - we laughed till it hurt! I was quite a small venue which was nice.
So, as the summer comes to a close, so does the Blue Jays season. We went to see the last game of the season which went into 12 innings! (There are usually 9). We got great seats with a great view of what was going on. After a while, we even started to understand the game..... David enjoyed booing the opposition with the crowd.

As the month came to an end, Kate had to say goodbye to a Linda, a Dutch friend who decided to return to The Netherlands. :-(
Before Linda left, we did a bit of touristing (based around locations for good beer).
