AND H1E D IDN'T TELL ME For at teast the last month and a haif, when the opportunity arises, 1 have been visiting the lake front aIl the way from Cobourg to Whitby in Esmnond's Tea Room is a colourfuililttie place set among the paines at Lake St. Peter in Northeastern Qntario. In order to get there you have to go through Bancroft, then a few hamiets with, names like Bird's Creek and Maynooth, until finally you hit the country road that Ieads to Esmond's. Any marketing analyst would tell you that trying to t-elate a business in that location would be sheer mradness. Any accountLant would just shudder a t the iuggestion. But Esmond's Tea Room has a regular and faithful clientele. It does an excellent business day and night. And it's mostly because of Esmond himnself. He's aven more colourful than the brightly painted tea roomi Although it was bitterly cold the day we arrived, Es- mond greeted us in a sumnmer shirt and shorts. He ap- peared to be about f if ty. Taîl, lithe and built like an Olym- pic swimmer, he positively bristled with vibrant health. Yet Esmond Skidmore is crowding sevanityl He eats and serves good food. He does his own bak- ing. Uses no additives and nothing but stoneground flour. He bathes daily in the nearby lake. When it's frozen over, ha has a snow bath. He did it when we were there late in February. Bundled up in my parka, 1 watched in amazement as he gleafully wallowed around in the snow, wearing nothing but swimming trunks. Bancroft writer and bookseller,, Bob Lyons, who told us about the teai room, says Esmond's tea. is the best he's ever tasted. Bob, who's travelled the world, and has had mint tea in Morocco, Indian tea and London blands, still swears by Esmond's brew. Esmond has a one-mian operation. He's cook, waiter and entertainer. He plays requests on a piano set over in a corner of the roomn. As a positive thinker, ha also listens to problems and gîves advice to somne of the patrons. Tea and sympathy. I asked him how the tea Dom managed to survive in the early years. "l couldn't lose," he taughed. "; was broke when 1 got here. lVve been a drop-out for more than thirty years, but 1 love life. Mayba people corne hare to see if somae of t vwilI rub off," search of geese other than the, abundant Canada goose. 1 have felt lit would be rather interesting to add to my list of birds either a Snow, Goose, Blue Goose or a Barnacle Goose, ail of which 1 do not have. But the trips to the lakefront have not pro- duced any of these birds for me although we do scan flocks of Canada Geese in search of the one of the three breeds men- tion ed above. Speaking, to Sid Ruther- ford Monday evenîng he started telling me about the Barnacle Goose that made its appearance at the Bowmanville Harbour some week and a haîf ago. He continued to say that one of the wood sculptures at the Sport- sman Show had visited the harbour to make a draw- ing of the Barnacle Goose and that in fact those that viewed it found it most in- teresting. 0 f course -Ihad to ask, Why didn't you phone me for 1 would sure have liked to see this bird. Forgot you might be in- terested, was the reply. Weil that would hardly be the case but it is some reward to know 1 could have been there and the search will now, no-doubt, continue. The Barnacle Goose is flot one to frequent this area that often. Weil for a few fine e will go back to those White- winged Crossbills we saw in the Ganaraska a few weeks ago. At the time 1 think I had made the point that theyý do nest at almiost anytime of the year. Since making that statement it appears the reason being thiat food, thie seeds fîrmcon- if'erous trees, is always av'ailabie. -1 suppose this is the part of nature being- in balance and I do recaîl that one spring years ago I had made reference to the fact that I had yet to see any fly catchers. Rutherford asked mne if I had seen any flues or in- sects flying around. He pointed out when the in- sects return so will the flycatchers. He could have at Ieast told me about the Bar- nacle Goose. 0 For Convenience 0 Competitive Shopping 0For Fresh Meat and Produce Department.
