@etherdiver Oh, I stepped away without mentioning that the fellow and his hotmail were at the link…! But you seem to have found it alright. Only sorry your email was bounced. Good luck with your sleuthing. Someone on Cape Breton Island should know! #capebreton #capebretonisland

Feeling for Donald of the Ridge of 1853 Cape Breton and his Christmas Day discovery that all his neighbours had signed a temperance pledge and thus there was no drink to be had anywhere, resulting in a tragic Gaelic poem to #Bacchus.

Recently had a trip aboard a lobster boat that fished around the Bird Islands of #CapeBreton - a magical place, full of birds, yes - but also some interesting #geology.
