About me

As a young girl growing up in a small town in rural Nova Scotia, a tiny province in Eastern Canada, I always dreamed of living in the homeland of one of my favourite movie stars, Haley Mills. I loved everything British . . . things like the Beatles, Enid Blyton, and Coronation Street. I dreamt of one day living in the land of thatched cottages, cobbled stoned streets, fairies and love, love me do. I am living the dream and quite happily so.

          It is a small world indeed Veronica! I have heard of Fox Harbour. My parents got married in Tor Bay. (Not sure if I spelt that right or not!)

            Oh thanks Mares. Looks delish! I love Upstairs, Downstairs. We have the whole series on DVD. I never tire of watching it.

              Your welcome. If you do end up trying it (no rush or pressure) I wouldn't mind hearing your thoughts on it.

              Hello from Warwick, RI. I found your blog several days back, and have been enjoying getting to read through your recipe, recommendation & other posts. I noticed one post mentioned how you missed the corn chowder made by a former landlady of yours, when you were a girl in Canada. I have a recipe for a wonderful corn chowder, and I'll be posting it to my cookeatshare.com account later this evening. I would have posted it already, but I've still got to figure out what I'm doing with the form to submit recipes. Wish they allowed one to opt out of some of the descriptions, etc..

                  I just posted it, along with another recipe. I was up late watching the new Upstairs, Downstairs on PBS, so I thought I'd post a few recipes.
