Faun Fawn on The Lawn and tally ho for Nova Scotia.

Well as they say in Kiwi land we were up at sparrow fart this morning to prepare for the ferry departure. Jane and I had stayed awake most of the night in case we over slept.  This morning a doe had brought her faun fawn onto the back lawn. They looked so sweet but apparently can be very stroppy. The deer have trampled Howard's apple tree and eaten all of the shoots so he has given up on horticulture. 
We caught the 8am ferry from Saint John to Digby in Nova Scotia. It's a 2 1/2 hour trip. It was thick fog so we didn't see landfall, but we did get our heads blown off by the ship's foghorn every few minutes. There were some dolphin playing off the port side of the ship (hark my nautical terminology) the ferries are big and comfortable; so unlike the Cook Strait jobs.
Closer to the port we did see land and some quaint old houses. There's a fish  farm in the harbour too.  
Mahone Bay the home of quaint buildings, the three

churches and a beautiful quilt shop called Suttles and Seawinds. I saw a couple of quilts I fancied and they were only $32000 each.

Peggy's Cove has huge tidal shifts and there are warnings everywhere to stay off the rocks. Happily many tourists ignore the warnings and are swept away. This makes for entertainment for the locals and provides an income for search and rescue.

There are dozens of old churches in Nova Scotia and they are just beautiful. I'd love to do a photo record of them but there is no time to stop at all of them and take pics.

We are staying overnight at The Chocolate Lake in Halifax, it too is lovely. I am totally enamoured with the architecture here and love the houses. They are just so like I had imagined . They are probably hideously impractical although I doubt it as the winters are very harsh here.

We've had lots of laughs and great company. I feel very blessed.

I am homesick though and miss the whanau. I spoke to Kiki on FaceTime and  realised it would be great to do this trip with the family. Surely it wouldn't cost much!, I do love the RVs the Canadians travel in.I will bring a few home.

No animals again today except the Dolphins/porpoise in The Bay of Fundy. I don't think that Canada has any wildlife. It's a myth promulgated for tourism.
