My Trip to Pictou, Nova Scotia

On Thursday, May 10th, I headed out for another reading from Chasing Freedom down to Pictou, Nova Scotia. What a beautiful slice of Nova Scotia located on the picturesque Northumberland Shore. the birthplace of New Scotland. With its rustic charm, period stone buildings, unusual layout and walking trail along the harbour, it is the perfect place for a quiet retreat.   
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.
