August 1, 2016. Western Head, Nova Scotia. Dinner With Gill.

Mid afternoon today Gill called to invite us for dinner tonight.  I suggested I would bring left over Bruschetta and Kale salad, which pleased her, so at 6:00 over we went.  The evening was lovely so we sat outside on her small deck in the comfortable chairs and looked out at sea and talked.  We had not had much chance to chat with Gill since we arrived as we seem to always be surrounded by people so tonight was a fine opportunity to catch up.

Gill is going to build a Folly on her property here.  It will be partially hidden by the trees to the left of her home but will have a wonderful view of the sea.  She says it will be a four year project as she will do it all herself.  Right now she is working on the foundation, which is backbreaking work.

Even our grandchildren have noticed how fortunate we are to be living closeby our good friends.  This evening is a perfect example.  Spur of the moment dinners are always good and Ken and I spent a delightful three hours with Gill in her lovely home.  The seals were plentiful as were the ducks.  The flowers at the front of her house are beautiful.  Her house looks great and we thoroughly enjoyed our quiet dinner with Gill.   She made us leave before dark as she worries over my night driving.  Always nice to have good friends looking after us.
