We went to New Glasgow for Christmas. This allowed me to catch up with Saltscapes magazine.
The article on Bridgetown reminded me of our life in the Annapolis valley.
”970 souls from one cartographic afterthought, history and circumstance have conspired to make it into something, simply, well irresistible.”
The piece by Alex Bruce ‘Building a better Bridgetown’ highlights the work of
Jennifer Crouse ‘Endless Shores Books and other Treasures”
Trudy White ‘Tallullah Freelove Linen’
Dawn Oman “Dawn Oman Art’
“Glass Art” Angela Prive
“Wools on the Corner”, Caroline Perriman, and
“Aroma Mocha Cafe” Laura Ricketts.
I received only one book this Christmas, from Patrick, “Life Lessons from the Ocean: Soothing Wisdom from the Sea”,written by Richard Harrington, a British Marine Biologist, and illustrated by Annie Davidson,
”From learning to go with the tide, to taking inspiration from starfish about how to handle setbacks, the book contains a lesson for everyone.”
Barry Lopez died Christmas Day 2020. In the current online Emergence Magazine, Jeremy Seifert gives us the film ‘Horizons’, a tribute to Barry’s life and work.
“Barry shares what drove him towards new horizons so that he might help our culture find balance with the living earth.”.
Postscript
This morning on our walk, we rediscovered Lil MacPherson’s restaurant “The Wooden Monkey”
Brings back memories.
