At the Willow House Inn B&B, I and fellow author, Susan White, were welcomed with warm Maritime hospitality. This historic house, built in 1840, offered such a comfortable bed, I drifted off to one of my most wonderful sleeps. The following morning, we enjoyed a delicious breakfast which featured freshly baked rasin and fruit peel scones. Delicious.
After a brisk walk around the town which for me always includes finding a special something to purchase, we met with two classes of Grade 8 students at Pictou Library. A grand time it was with community members, students, teachers and librarians.
This was one of those ventures that takes me back to my roots... a small town where community is strong and people wear their pride like a badge of honour.
