Anne Land

Growing up with relatives in Prince Edward Island, I was lucky enough to make frequent visits to the land of my childhood hero, Anne of Green Gables. It's a special place and this visit really brought that home to me.

I'm now in Cape Breton and off to a ceilidh tonight!

    You lucky person romping around Anne of Green Gables land!! Yay for you!!!

    p.s. I remember my first ever ceilidh at uni - me and my mate kept pronouncing it as see-leeg only to be slapped round the head by those in the know. Kay-lee. LOL!
