The Beautiful Trails Around Paisley

May 20, 2010

7 years ago, I began my first experience with town living. I was quickly corrected. This is not a town. It is a “village”.  Ah! So the experience began. As I have done with all things, I threw myself into the experience and have enjoyed so much it. (A small town (village) lifestyle can take some adjusting to. ) However, that being said, I have often found myself comparing living on my previous 200 acres to my current 200 acres and I think I lucked out. Paisley is just beautiful.

Often in the evenings, my family enjoys a leisurely stroll or a brisk walk on the trails behind the dike. There are a variety of birds out there where the grassy trail winds alongside the river. The children clamber on the big trees that hang over the river and often “take the leap!” I am constantly awed and thankful to our municipal government for seeing fit to maintain these trails using our tax dollars. They don’t have to. But it is so nice that they do.

When we first moved to the village, the old rail bed sat sad and abandoned, but just in the last couple of years that has been reconstructed and it is just lovely to trip-trap on the high bridges over the river. The lushous green trees blow in the wind far below but safe behind sturdy railings, I am able to walk or bike and admire. The trails go deep into the country and if it feels like heaven to me, I can’t imagine the reaction of some city dweller.

Every visit leaves me feeling in awe of the privelege I have to live in this wonderful tow. . . village.

SONGS FOR THE SNOWY SEASON Paisley Concert

December 3, 2009

Dec 11 in PAISLEY: TANNIS SLIMMON, JUDE VADALA & KATHERINE WHEATLEY – SONGS FOR THE SNOWY SEASON

“Join Tannis, Jude and Katherine as they welcome winter with beautiful songs and harmonies at shows this December in Paisley.”

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 11, at PAISLEY TOWN HALL, presented by “BACK EDDIE’S”, Paisley, ON – Mapquest map of Paisley ~ Tickets: $20, available by calling (519) 353-4787 or emailing backeddies@bmts.com Website: www.backeddies.com

“Jude, Tannis, & Katherine’s annual winter concert is absolutely magical. The gorgeous vocals of these women plus the sharing of anecdotes and laughter bring the wonder back to winter–you’ll be smiling about it for the rest of the season.” (‘Stine, Host of Wake Up! CFRU 93.3FM)

Katherine Wheatley, Tannis Slimmon and Jude Vadala tour together once every year. That’s it. Fans scream for more, but their schedules just won’t allow. So take advantage of this great opportunity to enjoy these three Guelph songstresses on one stage. They’ve dug up old and new songs written about the snowy season. Their ability to pick a great song, their love of beautiful lyrics, melodies and harmonies, their combined songwriting skills, their tour de force voices and the joy they feel singing with each other all make for an unforgettable event. We hope you can join them in welcoming winter.
