It’s a cool, calm morning here in Cape Breton. The hills beyond Margaree Harbour are clear in the distance, a textured tapestry of orange, reds, yellows and greens rising up to meet feathery clouds. I’m sitting on the porch in my pyjamas with a mug of hot coffee, feeling full from last night’s dinner. Crows and the odd car are the soundtrack of the morning.
That's one of the best foodie-travel-descriptive pieces I've read for a long time. It tugged at my heartstrings and made me think of my Dad and his capacity for knowledge.
Exquisite food obviously ...even more, exquisite writing -- if writing can be such. Thank you Ian for this from Lindsay. Goes good with music by Willie Nelson & Ray Charles- on the "phonograph" right now.
Would love to go/have gone to the WoodRoad Restaurant and to hear, again, the lobbing of a "gentle line of conversation that turns out to be a whimsical cornball."

Prue, thank you for this gorgeous comment. I’m glad we both have fathers with the same curiosity for life.
Once again Lindsay, a great tale by a skillful writer about places and life styles so different from here in California.
I loved the questions your dad asked, which prompted interesting answers from your busy waitress between courses.
Never stop writing!
Dearest Great Uncle Larry, how I love your comments, never stop commenting!
Thinking of you,

Syd, loved hearing from you! Imagine if you were there too, what a fun night that would have been. Take care,

Yes, he is! Xoxo
Lindsay, I enjoyed this story immensely! The descriptions of your dad and his seven questions had me chuckling from start to finish.
Jan, thank you ♥️ He is endlessly interesting isn’t he! xo
Beautiful! I appreciate your dad’s genuine curiosity and his capacity to keep learning 💕
Today we listened to the soundtrack to Mostly Martha, at his request. He can’t stop with this food thread! Forever curious ♥️
Thank you Heather! I imagined some of your ceramics under those courses ♥️
