So we made our way down to Wheatley (again!) last weekend, for the final home inspection prior to the legal closing. To our relief, all buildings and trees were still right where we left them....
We took the opportunity to tour Leamington and then Wheatley on a sunny Saturday, to acclimate early to our new surroundings. A brief walking tour of Wheatley revealed more than we thought - as the closest town to the house (a mere four minutes drive), Wheatley offers: a Mac's, an LCBO (already knew about that one), two gas stations, a Home Hardware, a Co-Op, a restaurant/pool hall, a cafe/diner, a pharmacy, a dollar store, a bakery, a post office...and five (???) hair establishments. We also took a quick look at Two Creeks, a conservation area with trails and live concerts, about one minute's drive from the house.
OK, so on the way out we also started the vineyard tours early, stopping at Smith & Wilson winery outside of Blenheim. They're pretty free with the samples....which bodes well.
We take possession on Monday...and with last night's two and a half hour visit with the lawyer out of the way, it appears to be a matter of time at this point!
