I too have seen Tavistock morph through my life over 7 decades. First, when we were driving straight through heading north from Woodstock to Owen Sound to see my grandparents. Then when my mother spent the last three years of her life inPeoplecare. I met my dad at Quehls for lunch several days. And finally when I would stop at the old railway station (now Tim's) on my way from the valley up here to see doctors in London.The Furry Gnomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02485265576983125216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10886995.post-87162708334430085242013-03-02T18:46:00.657-05:002013-03-02T18:46:00.657-05:00Your post dredged up a memory.
