The end of an era...



Richard will be very disappointed to hear that the Willow's Galley Fish and Chips shop is no more but at least I did manage to snag a photo on the Internet of the famous "Sunbather Burger" which was Richard's favourite. One reason for its fame was no doubtedly the two types of cheese.



Our favourite was always the fish and chips and we usually got a few shrimp on the side.

I was down at Jennings Florist in Estevan yesterday and noticed the "Closed for Renos-New Crew" sign and asked them about it. They told me the Galley was sold a year ago to the people who own the Demitasse in Oak Bay. It seems the quality went down and the prices went up and that annoyed the locals. Guess we didn't get to The Galley last year with all our own goings-on. Will be interesting to see what the new reincaration will be.

Now, Jennings Florist is another story. They now have had five generations working in the business. I began using them in 1971 when we first moved to Victoria and because of their excellent customer service I haven't changed. It was great when they moved to their current location in the Estevan Village.
