I've been focusing on the pubs lately but we have some great churches in Kingston. St. Paul's at 137 Queen Street was built from 1845 to 1846 and when I have more time on a sunny lunch I'll add some detail shots. There may be burials in the churchyard from as early as 1791. Molly Brant was buried …

Took a trip on the Wolfe Island Ferry (which is a very fine ferry) and got this view of the face of Royal Military College, Fort Henry and the Cedar Island Martello. Here are a couple of other posts on the martellos and the harbour defences. • The vista - too tiny to really see anything …
