Where Middle Earth and Westminster Meet

I lived in Wolseley when I was a kid. And I liked the Lord of the Rings. A lot. When I played I would  imagine I was in Middle Earth - life is hard when you're not a hobbit.

So here's a good ol' neighbourhood post featuring some awful Photoshop to give you an idea of the way I used to see it. 

Wolseley is a happy place with lots of cats, dogs, and corner stores. The telephone poles are covered with posters so you can't see the wood through them.

One day I was walking down the street and a man gave me flowers, then he told me to have a good day. That's Wolseley.

I love the Neighbourhood Bookstore & Cafe. They have second-hand books lining the walls, and cozy tables where you can sit and look out the window. They have coffee, tea, lattes, cake, and other yummy stuff.

Prairie Tall Grass sticky buns are so good, it's hard to resist the temptation.  

I hope you enjoyed this brief and confusing look into my childhood. I want to say I'll have something less weird for you next week, but I'm not sure about that yet.
