Linger Longer

It took us over thirty years to return to Prince Edward Island and after a successful coolant tank repair of our van, I want to linger a while on this lovely isle.

There’s a relaxed and friendly vibe to the place and this was evident at the ceilidh hosted by the Irish Benevolent Society last night in Charlottetown. There was a folksy feel to the venue, like an old community hall, and the musicians and tap dancers filled the room with music, energy, and laughter. At the intermission, biscuits, small sandwiches, cookies and tea were set out … at 9:00 PM. It was quaint and not all contrived.

The Irish Scots are made up of a song-writing Celtic bodhran drummer, a devil be charmed guitarist, and a virtuoso fiddler. There was a ton of talent on stage. Throw in intermittent tap dance performances by two world class performers and it was a memorable evening.

I like it here.

So we may just have to linger.Read more
