Bus Trip: Celebrating British Culture We are adding some British flair and fare to this great day out. Heading for Windsor first, we will stroll through the town to shop or sightsee (top hats and crowns optional) then land at the Spitfire Arms for either a late morning bangers breakfast, fish and chips or something else that you may prefer. We will then head to Main Street in Wolfville, where we will enjoy a sumptuous Victorian teatime at Randall House museum. It is a great day to feel British without going too far from home. Register with payment by May 15.
