We had a busy morning. We wanted to send a parcel to each of the three families in Whitehorse, Yukon ; Port Moody, BC ; and Peterborough, Ontario.
This led to a morning visit to Valley Flaxflour in Middleton.
Traditional and historically important Canadian seeds and grains, including flax, oats, buckwheat and corn are blended to make award -winning Pancakes and Cookie Mix ( Taste of Nova Scotia Product of the 2016 Year).
In the spirit of the Ernest Blair Experiment, I checked the books in the basement. There, I found a copy of Ernest Buckler ‘The Mountain and the Valley’, as well as a Eric Blair (George Orwell) book.
This led to my blog title, the ‘Ernest Blair Experiment’. It’s never too early to introduce family reading (for interest, check out the posts The Mountain and the Valley and EBLES Meeting).
After Valley FlaxFlour, stopped again at the post office. Hope our parcels arrive on time.
In a couple of days, Heather and I will make the run to New Glasgow for the Christmas Day celebrations.
