A very belated Happy Father's Day - it was a hectic weekend, what with Taste of Little Italy and I had two open houses.

Summer is officially here, which means it's ice cream season, and my local favourite, Death in Venice, is my go-to for unusual flavours, but there's no shortage of terrific treats in the city. My favourite flavour is Tiger Tail, which we always enjoy at the cottage, but you should be able to find it in the city now.

You'll find a list of the city's best ice cream parlours below, along with a wonderful feature on the St. Lawrence Hall Ballroom, one of the city's hidden treasures. This would make a great venue for a wedding or another occasion - it would be perfect for a special dance, which is something you know I love to do.

Now is also a perfect time for a road trip, whether you're checking out local markets, small towns or just need a short getaway. My favourites in the past have included Tobermory and the 1000 Islands. What are your favourite road trips?

You know I’m always happy to speak about the market, and what’s happening now is that we're seeing sales go up, but not the number of listings, which has resulted in prices increasing over the past few months, despite higher interest rates. If you're considering making a move, please get in touch. I think it will be a busy summer market, and I have three listings to share!

This weekend I am holding open houses at two of my listings, check them out below!

One open house will be at a beautiful traditional 3-storey Victorian home in the coveted family-friendly neighbourhood of Roncesvalles Village, where we'd be neighbours! The other open house is at a wonderful one bedroom plus den condo in the Arch Lofts Church conversion in the heart of the Junction.

As always, any referrals you may have are greatly appreciated. Please forward this to any friends or family who may be considering buying or selling in the coming months!

Take good care, hope to see you soon, and toodle loo for now.
