New school and old school

The Lunenburg Academy can be seen in the distance, while the new high school can be seen in the foreground, under construction.

They have made a lot of progress since I took this picture, more shots to follow...

Mmm, puddin'!

Spotted at the Lunenburg Slave Easy, dropping off a shipment of that delicious Lunenburg Sausage and puddin'. People seem to hate L'burg pudding, but I love the stuff!

I hope people keep painting houses this colour

This house makes me smile. It will be a sad day for me when most houses are painted in historic/colonial colour schemes. Boooring.

Bring back aqua, pink and kelly green house colours! ^_^ Stay tuned for more local examples of fun house colours in the following weeks.

Broad Cove Hall - kitchen detail 2

Another close up shot from the kitchen in the Broad Cove hall. Love those salt shakers! It looks like there's more rice than salt in that plastic one. ^_^

Saturday night at 'the hall'

Walls and ceilings clad in wood, antique light fixtures hanging from the ceiling, votive candles on the tables, ....and the sweet sounds of Klarka's voice filling the room.

Saturday's show at the Broad Cove Hall was a welcome respite from the winter blahs.

Coyotes in the Commons was my favourite song from her set, have a listen here.
