During the hot spell last week we took a wee road trip. We ended up in a village called Kelwood and what a treat it was. This community is so well cared for - everyone seems to take pride in their homes and yards. In the centre of town is a beautiful park! Many folks had huge gardens - I haven't seen gardens this big since I was a kid - just like then the gardens are totally weedless and picture perfect. There was one that was all garlic - I'm hoping some of the garlic will be at the farmers' market in the fall. There is a place there called the Kelwood Barn that is a convenience store (Mountain General) and gas bar. At the back there is a restaurant (Farmer's Daughter) that is very inviting as is the outdoor patio. Unfortunately, in our neck of the woods we cannot dine in or on the patio yet. Since take out was available we chose a burger - oh my, these were huge and homemade - homemade buns and patties . . . they were absolutely delicious!!! We haven't bought a burger this good for many years and we were reminded that when we were younger this was what a restaurant burger tasted like. Needless to say we'll be visiting here again. The photos of the park do not do it justice.

How nice that you got away on a little road trip, guess it's been a while since you have done that. Always nice to shop at a new place, admire the community and enjoy lunch!
Looks wonderful and sounds like a great place to visit.
What a great trip! Good find on the hamburgers, too!
It's so much fun to travel a little and see pretty places like this. I'll google search it to find out more! Hugs!
Kate, your road trip sounded delightful. Finding a good burgers is always fun.
Looks like a great getaway, Kate! I, for one, could wander around old cemeteries for days :)
