Posted by Alex on Jul 27, 2010 in Featured Articles | Comments
Canada has been a big part of my life for the past three years and it’s with great sadness that I share the news today, that I’m flying back to live in the UK. When I moved to Halifax last Summer, Canada became my home. I spent most of my first year in Musquodoboit Harbour and as you locals know, it’s a little rural. I have met some wonderful people...

As many of you know, the Haliwards is my first international project. After the success of the inaugural year, I wanted to start to involve local people by the way of an Advisory Board.

Opinions expressed belong solely to the author. One thing I pride myself on is being opinionated. It’s not the best way to make friends, but I don’t write a blog to make friends. I write it to share my thoughts and that’s exactly what I am about to do. Last year a local individual introduced me to Maritime Idol. They didn’t need to explain what it was to...
[Read More]Thoughts: iPhone 4

Metro Centre - Alex Maine and Connie Grant. Photo by Tara MacPhee This post would have arrived a little earlier, but like everyone who has worked on the Blue Nose Marathon the past few days have been “recovery time”.

[Read More]Summer Visit On Hold
Posted by Alex on May 13, 2010 in Blog | Comments
I originally picked a photograph of a couple overlooking London in the rain armed with umbrellas for this post, but it was a bit of a cliché. I guess this photograph isn’t much better… Going back to the UK for the durration of the summer has been on the cards for quite a while and I had thought that following my commitments with the Blue Nose...
