Welcome Songsparrow. We lived in Syndey, Cape Breton for three years - hubby is military. Oldest was born there and it is true the east coast is born in your blood. She travelled back to do university at Acadia and then spent a year back in Sydney doing her music therapy internship. If a job had been available she would have stayed but ended up moving back home to Ottawa and gradually picking up clients here. But her heart is still in the maritimes.
