I love this. I want to go to Yorkshire. Somewhere up there is the Bowes castle and I know for a fact that Anthony Bowes left those regions, I forget the actual place, to take his family to Canada! Settled on a farm north of Toronto. It was in the late 1700’s. I think! Maybe later. But that is why I’m here living a life in Toronto!
Have a fabulous time in Halifax Gloria! Street signs in other parts of this blue spinning ball are equally confusing, however… I’ve always enjoyed the path wherever it leads, Sla’inte!

From Trump you flee,
You've traveled afar.
You fool not me,
In Halifax you are.
Have fun. If Trump wins, we'll all need to flee.

I was mesmerized by the train trip here…the infinite colors of green.
Yes, Bowes Castle is in North Yorkshire. Bit of a trek from Halifax (West Yorkshire) but nowt by Canadian standards.
Btw, there is a hamlet called Canada near where I grew up in Lincolnshire. Wonder where the country got its name? And how they are linked?

“The Mi'kmaq name for Halifax is Kjipuktuk, pronounced ‘Che-book-took’. The name means ‘Great Harbour’ in the Mi'kmaq language.”
Thank you. I did not know that!
