September 18, 2020. Western Head, Nova Scotia. The Cottage.

Our cottage has been transformed. Heather and Ross have done a wonderful job. Anna and I went visiting today. Of course we missed the road into Moosehorn Estates but when we turned around eventuall we discovered that the road was still the same. But driving into the cottage had changed. Ross cut down the pine trees along the drive, which made it much easier to find the cottage. And the cottage has changed. They took off the old siding and insulated the place. They dug out a basement and extended the house 12 feet. When you drive in you see a whole new home with a new deck and new siding. The cottage looks wonderful But the transformation inside is even more dramatic. Big new windows were installed looking out at the lake. The windows are low so even when sitting you have a clear view. And there is a skylight. The ceiling is still pine but the rest of the new room is drywall and paint. The kitchen has an island with 4 benches and there is a table and four chairs. Everything is open. We sat in the living room in comfortable chairs and couches and enjoyed the beauty of the place. Ross and Heather were the perfect folks to buy the cottage. On the lower level they are putting a bedroom and bath and a small sitting room. They will probably use that bedroom as their one as the bedroom on the main floor is small. Heather is a good cook and an even better baker. For dessert we ate home made pie, with a chaice of cxhocolate or lemon. For lunch we ate delicious chopped egg sandwiches which were deliciou. Heather and Ross have sold their Milton house and now are living full time at the cottage. It certainly is a lovely place to live. The new place is splendid and I was delighted to see the finished product. Hats off to them.
