Hello Ladies and Gents,

Hubby and I are flying back out in the second week of May so hubby can sit the CAMRT exam on the 18th - and to house hunt!

Was hoping people would be around for a meet up - it would be good to put faces to some of the very helpful voices of this forum. Anybody up for a coffee (or something stronger) w/e of 15/16th?

Howdy! I am sure everyone will be up for a meet up - hopefully we may even have some sunshine by then!

First couple of days of sunshine here - gosh it does make you feel so much better! Looking forward to going back to NS and seeing it in a different season. When does spring start for you guys?

After the snow storm we had yesterday am enjoying seeing the sun this afternoon. May consider coming to meet up but a lot will depend on where as Halifax is a couple hours away

And blackfly LOL! Better make it an indoor meet-up.

possible for us, we have friends over visiting at this time, so would depend what we have going on, will try and make it

How on earth had I forgotten about those. Oh goody black fly season..woop woop!

Is black fly really a big problem in Nova Scotia?

May is definitely not blackfly time. Mozzies and blackfly are out during the hot summer months.

In some places it can be - here in PL we had quite a bad time with them last year, but not so much the year before. The year before the mozzies were the pains in the bum.

BUT there are things out there to keep the majority of them out of the way so they don't ruin your whole life!

Do you mean like this

The mozzies loved me for the 2 weeks we were over last September so best I get me a 'bug suit'

After taking advice from other members here last year I went the Marmite route, it really does work like a charm but it tends to stain pale clothes & if you're planning on exposing a fair bit of skin (shorts & t-shirt) it can take up to a whole small jar to get even coverage..

Keep me in the loop for this one please folks! I hope to be back in Truro by then.
