If you are wondering why a person would choose to leave the city (in this case Vancouver) to move to Bear River, check out the blog Life at Sledding Hill. Last year Martin and Gordon bought a farm here and brought their dreams with them which involved lavender fields and lavender shortbread cookies and beautiful chickens.

Martin’s ‘Why Bear River’ post sums things up.
The transition from our Vancouver desk-job lives to being modern homesteaders in rural Nova Scotia has been remarkably smooth. We haven’t had a day of regret.
Moving to Bear River… from the first time I drove through, back about 1988, I felt a special something! We moved here after my near death emergency surgery in April 2009. What we fond here is family! Even those who we did not know have become close. I dare say that even after my having traveled 38 US States and all the Canadian Provinces there is no place like home… and home for us will always b Bear River…
We love you guys! Thanks for making us Part of Your Family!

(But, ah, that’s another story!)
Looking forward to meeting you as well! Ahh, the Great Adventure of 2011 is on for us!
See you all very soon!
Cheers and blessings
