Even Saint John was shockingly quiet on Saturday when we took him there. And, St. Andrews was absolutely bucolic yesterday. However, our professionals lives are busier here than any job I had in Toronto -- go figure! Yes, it’s much slower, as I am sure Ed has found out.

I hope that you will get to the Miramichi area - Lord Beaverbrook's childhood home is there, but more importantly, there are amazing historical sites that are completely accessible (in the middle of a park's forest, for instance). There are also many of your relatives buried in the churchyards, including those of your great-great-grandparents. I personally liked the "pace" of life, there. Enjoy! The red wine thing makes sense.

Anyway, if a crazed lunatic throws a glass of vin rouge on Lord Beaverbrook's image, one could simply throw a stain-removing glass of vin blanc to compensate!

The reason the Beaverbrook Art Gallery does not allow red wine is due to accidental spillage. Red wine is much harder to remove from artwork than white wine. I know, it's a bit bizarre, but that is the policy. Nice bit of work, Ed. The reason the Beaverbrook Art Gallery does not allow red wine is due to accidental spillage.
