Winds of Change

As we started the two week COVID provincial lockdown, it coincided with the sale of Andrew’s farm across the road. Fortunately, we were able to take advantage of the annual Spring Clean Up to dispose of some surplus furniture.

Meanwhile in Iqaluit, their life remains same. Mother is KaiuKuluk and Father is Niksik.


From the Bridgetown Reader, Moose House Publications celebrates two years of publishing books, written by rural Nova Scotian writers. The latest include Ronan O’Driscoll’s Poor Farm, Jan Fancy Hull’s The Church of Little Bo Peep and Jockie Loomer Kruger’s Until the Day we Die. Congratulations to both Brenda Thompson and Andrew Wetmore.


On Friday, I received a gift from Peter, my brother. It was the link, From BBC 4 Great Lives Series 26 Lonnie Donegan. Heather and I put our feet up for half an hour. It took me back to my teenage years in suburban West London. I am gifting it forward.


Meanwhile, we wait to hear whether the new owners of the farm from the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) plan to maintain Raymond Hunter’s organic orchard. Hope they do !
