Yuill Just Love This!

Another fabulous Nova Scotia day!  We headed off for brunch at a new restaurant called Saltscapes near the campground and had a wonderful lunch of seafood chowder with tiny little tea biscuits.  Ann had a spinach dip with corn tortilla chips.  What a great way to start the day.

Take Your Choice

We had to stop for gas and have been amused since we got here by the different gas prices depending on whether you pay by cash/debit or credit card.  We've seen a difference of up to 4 cents a litre if you pay cash.  I wonder if the credit card companies are feeling the need to drop their service fees a bit.

Since leaving home, Ann and I have been on a Nevil Shute kick.  I loved his novels when I was younger and imagined myself travelling over a rough tin track through the Australian outback in my trusty Ute.  It's been fun to revisit all those adventures.

A favourite Nevil
Shute Novel

I've finished "A Town Like Alice" "Old Captivity" and am now well into "In the Wet"  I just love my Kobo reader!  My next major read will be by another favourite author, Edward Rutherfurd - "Paris"  which is just sitting there waiting for me.

While I brought the Tassimo so we could have civilized morning coffee, Ann contributed a "Sodastream" that converts tap water into carbonated.  Nothing slakes the thirst like a cold fizzy water, when you are tramping from gravestone to gravestone.  What a treat!

Tonight was "Salad" night.  Ann made her delicious pasta salad with some leftover chicken and we had some of Fonda's greek salad and the remains of yesterday's potato salad.  A perfect meal after a long day!

Clifton Cemetery

Our Cemeteries of the day were in Clifton and Old Barns on the south shore of the Bay of Fundy.  Fortunately, they are right beside each other so we didn't have to travel far.  Once again we found beautifully tended grounds and well maintained grave markers.  I think there are Cemetery Angels out there who look after the last resting place of our ancestors.

One of the families we were searching for were the YUILLs.  We have many who married into the various branches of the family and we found them in abundance today!  The cemetery is right near the shore and so we wondered if the tide comes in do they call it a Yuill Tide?  Did they live by the Yuillian Calendar?  Do they celebrate Christmas with a Yuill log?  It went on like that for some time.

Sunday we're hoping to go on a guided tour of the Londonderry/Wentworth area with Fonda and hopefully her mom as well.  I'm really looking forward to that!

And being at the end of a busy day, it's time for bed.  But there's a gang of rowdy old people having a party in the field behind us so sleep may be a long time coming.
