Last year, while on our canal holiday we met two wonderful couples called Sharon & Bob and Lori & Lyman. We got on so well that they invited us to visit them this year, so off we went to Durham which is in Pictou County in Nova Scotia.
Within a couple of days, we had completely fallen in love with this wonderful place and its people, so to document our holiday Nicky kept a journal which we will put on here along with lots of pictures which Alan took.
The song by Rita MacNeil is very true....
She grows on you slowly the first time you meet
There's just so much beauty the heart can believe
And you want to stay longer and she's ever so pleased
You're one of the many who don't want to leave
So walk through her green fields, Go down to the sea
The fortune in your eyes is more like a dream
She's called Nova Scotia and she so makes you feel
You discovered a treasure no other has seen
It's hard to remember the places you've been
For once in her presence she's all that you've seen
And she cradles you softly like a warm gentle breeze
And wins your heart over with a feeling of peace
So walk through her green fields, Go down to the sea
The fortune in your eyes is more like a dream
She's called Nova Scotia and she so makes you feel
You discovered a treasure no other has seen
She welcomes the strangers from far away shores
While deep down inside her, Some walk through her soul
And at night in her slumber, The winds softly call
And awakens her spirit that lives in us all
So walk through her green fields, Go down to the sea
The fortune in your eyes is more like a dream
She's called Nova Scotia and she so makes you feel
You discovered a treasure no other has seen
So walk through her green fields, Go down to the sea
The fortune in your eyes is more like a dream
She's called Nova Scotia and she so makes you feel
You discovered a treasure no other has seen
You discovered a treasure no other has seen
