Nova Scotia- The Grand Finale

By Remy ( photos by Liz) We are still in New Scotland, the tiny province where we have spent the most time. There are a few reasons for this: the autumn has been unseasonably warm, which is an important consideration given our new lifestyle; it is easy to find places to stay, as people here

Don’t deny yourself the full experience of Liz’ art! – Remy We have already mentioned that Covid has been a blessing in disguise, causing us to slow our

Nova Scotia Has The Mosta

By Remy ( photos by Liz) It was a relief to land back in the soft bosom of Nova Scotia after a couple of weeks on the stony, windswept lap of Newfoundland. We had never completed the full circumambulation of Cape Breton so this was our opportunity to do so before a scheduled meet-up in

Newfoundland Part 3

By Remy We are suffering some technical difficulties which are severely testing our patience and harshing our vibe. It’s also why we had to post Newfoundland in 3 different parts. If we can’t solve this issue then we may switch to a completely different format of staying in touch. For now, let’s get on with

Newfoundland Part 2

By Remy ( photos by Liz) For the second time in less than a week we were subjected to a Covid screening as we passed from New Brunswick into New Scotland. We were sent into a minor panic as we reviewed the online regulations for entering Nova Scotia and colluded on a slight stretch of

Red Soil and Blue Mussels

By Remy ( photos by Liz) We crossed the Northumberland Strait on the 13 Km long Confederation Bridge which is also known as the”Fixed Link” (a title that does little justice to the engineering marvel that it is, but PEIslanders are a laconic bunch) and were surprised to find ourselves herded into the cattle pen

Mushrooms, Lobsters and Covid Testing at the Border

By Remy ( photos by Liz) Easterly we go! We gritted our teeth and whitened our knuckles and headed out of Quebec City on the autoroutes of Quebec. The “construction holiday”, the last two weeks of July when the trades all take les vacances, was over and it is no holiday to travel now that
