The village of St. Peter's Bay, a bit more than fifty kilometres northeast of Charlottetown, changed quite a bit since last I saw it. Perhaps because of increased tourist traffic to the sand dunes of Greenwich, accessible from Charlottetown only via St. Peter's Bay, there was a lot of new construction. The St. Peter's Landing complex located at the head of the bay, where bay became tidal inlet, was a delight, not least because it houses the really quite good independent bookstore named The Turret Bell. The pedestrian bridge arcing over the inlet, green grass matted thickly and rather beautifully, was another plus. So was the ice cream.

It was a beautiful afternoon when I was there, warm and bright under a blue sky. It was beautiful, full stop.
