Primary Colours

I live opposite a prison in an apartment in a busy city so it's no wonder these painted cottages in Peggy's Cove, Nova Scotia hold the greatest possible allure for me.

 

 

Mason Jar Moments

I know many think the mason jar has been done to death but not me....I love a mason jar. I really don't mind what's in it it either. This time is was mocktails and cocktails in Nashville but I have seen so many other things , mainly edible or drinkable, in my travels beautifully presented in mason jars of all sizes. They just carry with them that shabby chic vintage rustic feel that I can never have enough of.

Cat and Mouse

Polly bought a mouse into the house last night....and another cat, a white one with no tail. I don't know whose idea it was to bring the mouse inside but I hope the event is not repeated. The sweet timid white cat scurried off when I went to pat it. Polly then decided to consume said mouse for dinner. I was appalled as she has a veritable buffet laid out in the kitchen. The least she could have done was share the mouse with her guest or show it the array in the kitchen . Bad feline manners all round and then she only ate half of her blasted catch leaving a scraggy chewed portion for me to scoop off the floor and dispose of ...ugh !!

Sunnybrook Mill Market

This little store sells local homemade produce....lots of fruit , vegies and baked goodies from local kitchens and back yards. The ladies who run it were up for a chat and it was a fun shopping trip, way better to fill the pantry and fridge this way than by the usual supermarket bunfight.

Wild and Woolly

Local products feature very heavily in the galleries and gift shops in Nova Scotia. This was the softest wool and lightly flecked with silver...hard to see in pics. The sheep should be very proud to see the outcome of their fleeces.

Peggy's Cove Lighthouse

This little lighthouse is quite famous and quite a Canadian icon and is still working . Once upon a time there was a little post office inside it downstairs with the lighthouse keeper living upstairs. How sad it's gone as I would have loved to have sent my mum a postcard from such a gorgeous spot !

About Last Night

This pink sky over Nova Scotia was incredible, glorious, amazing and more. I have been longing to visit Nova Scotia for as long as I can remember. It has not disappointed. I want to stay forever !

Houses on the Hill

These gorgeous weatherboard cottages were bathed in a very pretty, golden evening glow from the setting sun. As you can see last night was a beautiful Nova Scotian evening.

Donut Anyone ?

Very tempting aren't they ....but don't take a bite or you will be frothing at the mouth !! I saw these gorgeous soaps in Mahone Bay today.

Buffalo BnB

I stayed at Oscar's Bed and Breakfast last night in Buffalo. It was very lovely and very comfortable. I even got to tick a box on my long list of things I have wanted to do for a long time. I got to rock on a front porch like a Granny Mae.
