Bear River, I’m crossing you in style
Bear River, Nova Scotia, Canada I think it was partly the name that made me stop. I had a long drive ahead of me that day – some 528km to drive from Digby up to Charlottetown in Prince Edward Island. And that’s if I didn’t take the scenic route, which would be very unlike me. [...]

Maritimes… in numbers
I’ve just returned from my summer holiday. When I originally planned the move to Canada, there was one trip I was determined to undertake, to the extent that it influenced my decision to move to the eastern part (well… relatively speaking) of Canada. That trip was the Maritime provinces of Canada – the east coast, [...]
