At my elbow is a silver coaster with a full dish of candy close at hand. I am sitting in a sun room made into a library with books and magazines on the shelves and tables. Our room here is lovely, beautifully appointed with linens and antiques. We chose this place from Doers and Dreamers and it is a winner.
People do the most amazing things. This young couple were travelling in Nova Scotia and fell in love with Parrsboro, the town with the fifty foot tide on the north shore of the Minas Basin. They purchased a large house and moved here from Austria. This was not an easy task with all the immigration rules and policies, but eventually, they did it. First they renovated the big old house and turned it into The Maple Inn. Next they purchased the house beside them and connected the two houses. The wife is in charge here at the Inn. I suspect that the husband works in town. Tonight the Inn is full so they must be doing something well.
It is a lovely spot and we are very fortunate to be here. But the most amazing thing is to find this couple living in this beautiful home on the shore of Nova Scotia.
