Mutton Bay in the afternoon sun
The open sea is in the background left; the harbour is centre; the entrance to Snuff Box (an arm of the bay) and Graveyard island (with the white picket fence) are at left; the Anglican rectory is at the right (west) end of the bridge, at the entrance to the Bottom (another arm of the bay).

Minnie's home, Mutton Bay.
The house was built by Minnie's father and husband in the mid-1940s. It is not the oldest in the village, but it is one of the last that is not covered with vinyl siding. It has to be repainted about every two years.
