We plan to travel ther this spring or summer to get the lay of the land so to speak. Ontario is quite expensive and Nova Scotia offers us the sea...my husband is British and we have both lived in England and also worked there in the past and he so misses the sea fishing. We have a son living in B.C,but the cost of living is so high. My other sons live on the Rock in Goose Bay which is too severe a winter for us. We would like to retire somewhere where we could go to England to visit our Daughter or our Son in B,C, for the winter months using our English Pensions to pay for the flights etc,as both offer milder winters. Our Canadaian pensions can take care of all our everyday living better in Nova Scotia and allow us to see the boys by a ferry trip to them or for them to take a ferry to visit us. We are not interested in buying a home but want to live somewhere safe. Could you recommend any areas in Nova Scotia to avoid...or better yet any nice safe areas? Near a Market, near a Legion for card nights,dances, bingos etc. We have a lovely small Pomeranian..which is our little baby girl...a nice dog park would be nice. My Mother was a Bluenose as they say ...born in Dartmouth, raised in Turo...but I have lost contact with family back there and sadly she has passed away...but there is always hope that once there...we will connect We are fed up with Ontario...the cost...the crime...we don't want to just survive in our old age...we have all we would ever need...we just want quality of living. The British are very easy going and laid back people and I believe Nova Scotia will suit him better than B.C. where money is well needed to retire in an Ex=Pat area of White Rock. Please be kind enough to repond...even if you cannot advise us but we will know you aleast acknowledged our comment...Thank you so very much! I have read your Blogs throughout and am pleased that your dream has become a realaity! Hope to hear from you!<br />Lynda Crokenoreply@blogger.com
