I nearly titled this "Fly home". Well I managed to get everyone back on the plane voluntarily. I was worried about how Julie and the Girls would feel about flying back to Canada. They have been the most effected by homesickness. But it wasnt too bad.

We arrived back in Halifax airport around 2:30pm and had a 4.5 hour drive to home. We had left a vibrant spring in the UK and returned to winter. In Nova Scotia all the snow had pretty much gone but what was left was a dead brown landscape with absolutely no sign of anything green.

Back in NB it was still winter and we had still had a sizeable snow drift in the back garden.  But funnily enough we all agreed it was good to be back home.
