Yesterday (Sunday) we made a second visit to the Lower Granville Hall at Port Royal. We enjoyed an excellent lunch prepared by the community. The guest speaker was Heather Leblanc. It was good to catch up. I recall the days when Planning students at COGS would work with the citizen group to use GIS technology to produce online maps of heritage buildings in the County. Map Annapolis also worked with Parks Canada and ground penetrating radar of the graveyards.
The current web site includes a number of excellent videos, produced by Andrew Tolson.
On Saturday night we visited the Evergreen Theatre in East Margaretsville. We enjoyed the music of Rachel and Darren. They were part of the award-winning group, Coig.
The venue was a chance to catch up with old friends at the Eastern end of the County. On a sad note, we learned from David O’Leary that Karen Reinhardt and her husband had passed away. Karen was at student at COGS in the early eighties.
My homework (reading) this week is Matt Rouse ‘Will AI take my job ? And Ronald Blythe Next to Nature. A Lifetime in the English Country side. The first is an introduction to current technology and the second prepares me for our life in the Nova Scotia countryside.
