Royal Visit
Got my invite and heading to Pictou tomorrow to help welcome Prince Charles and Camilla to Nova Scotia at the Hector Heritage Quay. They will tour a replica of the Ship Hector that brought the first wave of Scottish immigrants to Canada back in 1773. Then it's a private Celtic celebration hosted by local laddie Peter MacKay, Minister of Justice and Attorney General

Enjoy yourself!
I stayed in Pictou for a bit on a job. Lovely little place. The knife factory does free tours.... worth a look!

Just close your eyes, lie back and think of England.
(Or Scotland if that's your thing).
