Patio Girlz

The Patio Girlz left Edmunston, NB this morning for home. The fall colour is just starting along the St John River creating an even more scenic drive. We stopped for a nice picnic lunch in Quebec consisting of New Brunswick fresh rolls and tea biscuits, Ontario cheese, Nova Scotia blueberry jam, oatcakes and Gravenstein apples.…

Well, despite our best efforts, still no sighting of #Paul McCartney. The Patio Girlz have it on good authority that he is in Toronto at the end of the week. Hmm, a day trip may be in order!

We woke up to a true Maritime day with very gusty winds and rain. Thanks to Jen and Jans, our Airbnb hosts in Englishtown for a wonderful place to call home for the last 3 nights. Today, we were on a tight schedule, because we had a date for a home cooked turkey dinner with…

The Patio Girlz have enjoyed a wide range of culinary delights in Nova Scotia including fish cakes, seafood chowder, lobster rolls, mussels, scallops, Gravenstein apples, oat cakes, and definitely not to be missed, Fully Loaded Hot Dog potato chips!

Watching through the sunroof, this majestic bird flew directly overhead for a few minutes before heading over the water.What…

Tracey searched high and low for a message in a bottle during our beachcombing. This is what she found…but what does it mean?

The Patio Girlz may have found them! Shout out to the #CuriousCollector in Cape Breton on Hwy105 where Kathy found some wonderful treasures.
