Living a Dream

As a very young child, I enjoyed watching old movies with my mom, especially at Christmas. One of my favourites was always "Holiday Inn" with Bing Crosby and Fred Astair.

This is actually the movie where the song "White Christmas" was introduced. Not the movie, as people usually think, "White Christmas" which I also loved.

I still watch both of these movies every year and Christmas wouldn't be complete without them.

Obviously "Holiday Inn" was about an Inn and it was a beautiful old country house and from the first time I saw the movie I said that I wanted to have such a place when I grew up.

As an interior designer, the idea of owning and restoring an old historical house was especially interesting. So after running my own Interior Design Store for many years and specializing in old houses I decided that it was time.

We now have a wonderful 1846 historically designated home on the Niagara Wine Route in Grimsby, Ontario in Canada.

I'm happily living a dream in my "semi-retirement from the rat race and for the past six years have enjoyed this fabulous house, the many guests who come back time and again and this beautiful area.

The wonderful Ontario Wines, of course, are an extra special bonus!!

So get the movie, a great bottle of Ontario Wine and enjoy!

Come and see us soon.
