A few Great Village photos

In mid-August we were at the EB House for a week -- a wonderful retreat and respite -- and a time to visit with our village friends. Below are a few photos taken by my sister Brenda Barry of some of the things we saw during the week. We are so grateful to Laurie Gunn and the St. James Church of Great Village Preservation Society for their steady and careful stewardship of the EB House, which keeps the house open to writers and artists from Nova Scotia and across the world. Thank you.
