They were mission workers in a hospital there and 2 of their children were born there. It is truly a delicious meal, made a lot of fun when we started comparing eating styles. One of their children also made "the big pile", much to the concern of the more traditional adults present.Marg Lemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13567233992986939166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6575237890797665624.post-84216624000374447422017-03-31T23:01:17.239-04:002017-03-31T23:01:17.239-04:00This charming cottage is near Parrsboro NS.

The owner brought all materials to the site, including the rocks, from Pugwash NS. The interior is so cleverly designed and functional. My husband and I were fortunate enough to talk to the owner one day and he was gracious enough to give us a tour. To visit the site drive from Parrsboro to The Ottawa House By The Sea,historic site of Sir Charles Tupper's summer home, and then down the beach road toward Partridge Is. (original site of Parrsboro). Welcome to our part of Nova Scotia - we love it here!<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15618391729995235692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6575237890797665624.post-35296857909838179592016-12-12T07:27:51.137-05:002016-12-12T07:27:51.137-05:00Oh my, this sounds delicious!

It has all the trappings of this architecture; the 10' ceilings, huge windows, and horizontal lines on the exterior (segmented pillars, linear roof peak, etc). I already have the dark hardwood floors and some carved interior shutters from India. <br />I'm excited to have found this site to redesign the rooms which are inconsistent with this elegant look.<br />The only shame is my inefficient wood windows in our Canadian winter. Small price for love of beauty...StrikeZonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02078760572935481628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6575237890797665624.post-44586927773782336382016-04-03T12:54:39.334-04:002016-04-03T12:54:39.334-04:00Thank you for posting!
