Staff Vacations #4 - Alex's trip to Nova Scotia!

We had fabulous weather in Nova Scotia this year – lots of hot sunny days.  My golf game was not good, but that was more than made up for by all the other activity – catching up with family and friends, and meeting cousins that my wife hadn’t seen in 50 years.   

In August there is also the Folk Harbour Festival, which has many wonderful artists, and this year we attended the Sunday morning gospel session which meant we got to hear about 20 different artists in the space of two hours.
