Marshview Patio | In My Own Backyard

Welcome Back to In My Own Backyard!

This week I just have to share an amazing restaurant that I stumbled across while road tripping along the beautiful shores of Lake Erie (a full itinerary of one of the best roadtrips in Ontario will follow).

Take a hot air balloon ride, the perfect Ontario activity for the entire family. An adventure of a lifetime!

One of the beauties of travel is stumbling across those little hidden gems. Travelling in our own backyard is no different, and Lover’s Lane in Kincardine, Ontario is just one of those hidden gems.

Welcome to In My Own Backyard!

For those of you familiar with Canada, especially Ontario, you will be familiar with the multitude of various cultures which now call Ontario home.

Read stories from older ladies who travel solo and let them inspire you.

The Lavender Farm – In My Own Backyard

Welcome to In My Own Backyard

Welcome back to this week’s edition of In My Own Backyard.

Welcome to My Own Backyard!
