@ New Brunswick Beachcombing
“Wouldn't it be lovely to live in a lighthouse like this one pictured in our itinerary in Nova Scotia? So romantic!" mused Priscilla, nibbling on a taffy lolly.
"Well, I don't know," said Chocolate. "It's not all about drinking coffee and gazing at the sea. You have to run up and down stairs, operate the light and the foghorn, and there may be no running water or electricity apart from a generator."
Priscilla considered this. "Mine would be a luxurious, converted, non-operational lighthouse, then."
New Brunswick Beachcombing
Beachcombing is a soothing activity which involves combing the shoreline to see what objects of interest you can see. This could be shells, pebbles, seaglass or even something more unusual! Beaches can be very specific in what they collect, due to currents, geography and offshore habitats. Some beaches are good for driftwood, others for mermaid’s purses.

@ Canadian Blue Jay
Priscilla and dora shook paws, said “How do you do?” and posed for a souvenir photo. “Why am I always on the left?” grumbled Priscilla. “Let’s change sides.”
“No,” said dora. “This is my best side.”
Canadian Blue Jay
The blue jay is found throughout most of Canada, with the exception of the far west of the country. It is the provincial bird of PEI. The blue jay’s vivid cobalt or azure-blue tail and wing feathers make an exotic contrast against brown leaves or green grass. However, these feathers are not truly blue, as blue pigment is unknown in birds. The blue jay’s feather colour results from refraction, or distortion, of light by a peculiar inner structure of the feather substance.

Episode 14/24

@ Northern Cardinal
From across the road, samx295 surveyed the current stop on their map. “Would you fancy living there, Priscilla?”
"Well, it's certainly a bit different to where we live," said Priscilla. "But I could get used to it, I daresay!"
Northern Cardinal
A great number of birds, including the Northern Cardinal and Blue Jay, have evolved to remain in Canada throughout the year. Many flock together, sometimes with other species, and huddle to help retain heat. This also reduces the need to watch out for predators. Most remain active by feeding on nuts, dried fruit, seeds, twigs and branches in the vegetation. Many of these species flock to bird feeders, where they supplement their diet with fatty items.

Priscilla good-naturedly took charge of Inukshuk's possessions while he emptied his rucksack of a pack of sandwiches, a Thermos flask, a pair of galoshes, a bag of toffees, a paperback novel, a bottle of mineral water, an address book, some postage stamps, an assortment of different coloured biros, a bottle opener, a couple of old train tickets, a handful of golden and silver moles, a hotel key, some shopping receipts and a selection of rather battered sachets of salt, sugar and tomato ketchup before locating the Pac-a-Mac right at the bottom. This he donned and then Priscilla helped him put everything back in his rucksack.
