It's a beautiful day in Perth County, so I went for a three-mile walk this morning instead of lounging around reading the paper. It's near the peak of tourist season and Stratford is looking wonderful: gardens bursting with colour, shops groaning with delectable stuff to buy, even the ducks, geese and swans generating large quantities of cuteness on every hand. Truly, it's a Magic Kingdom when it tries -- and in tourist season, it's all hands to the pumps.

Himself set off to bail court this morning in his lawyerly grey suit livened up with a mauve shirt and a purple tie, all topped off with a white Panama hat with a scarlet band perched on his crown of silver curls. If he's not Stratford's most sharp-dressed man, I'd like to know who is.
