Visiting mummies
We visited the NS Natural History museum yesterday especially for the mummies. They were a hit.
Weekend oatcakes
I really love warm oatcakes with old cheddar cheese. The perfect afternoon snack.
Lots of Birds
This weekend we got out for another wander around Frog Lake (or is it pond). Our friend the wood duck was there, along with a murder of crows. I started thinking about getting a new mirrorless body this summer, and I think I have made my pick, a Canon EOS R6. It is a huge […]
