The Shepherds fancied a holiday.........


Its now time to introduce you all to our good friends Rob and Claire and their children Sophie and Ross who lived near us in Chesterfield.











We had known each other for a long time and had been on many holidays together, both before and after we had had children. We had had some great times on a Gulet in Turkey, various camp sites in France and Italy and a fantastic Christmas in Florida.


Having started to plan our recce trip to Nova Scotia it naturally followed that we would ask Rob and Claire if they wanted to join us for a holiday. We planned to book a week at a nice house by the sea and if possible do a little sailing. Who turns down the opportunity for a holiday !!!!
We had made some appointments with contacts we had made in advance with CORDA, Truro Elementary School, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, Canadian Red Cross and Bruce Berry a local real Estate Agent in Truro. Rob and Claire decided that they were going to do some exploring of Nova Scotia themselves and then meet up in Antigonish after a few days at the house we had rented.
We booked our flights on Air Canada from Heathrow to Halifax on 22nd May 2009 and Rob and Claire booked to fly out a few days later.
