Since it is ahead of the rest of the country, the collapse of the capitalist program has come sooner. They are economically poorer now, but it has been like this for some time compared to a province like oil rich Alberta. <br /><br />I think that is why there are so many small houses. Or maybe people there are practical and sensible and satisfied with less. It works for us because like you we are more comfortable in smaller spaces.Gregg Koephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09349453216733070775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4312736954468978064.post-89160512876926953442014-04-23T14:14:17.404-03:002014-04-23T14:14:17.404-03:00S.S.,

Linda and I would spend all our time outside, just where we like to be… except for in winter. Hmm, winter here lasts from October to May. <br /><br />How about sitting in the yard next to a warm fire?Gregg Koephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09349453216733070775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4312736954468978064.post-72721885365277811732014-04-23T14:07:46.448-03:002014-04-23T14:07:46.448-03:00CharlotteP,

When I travelled to Europe years ago I saw so many devices for conserving power that I wondered why we here are so wasteful. These were devices I had never seen before, and things that made so much sense.<br /><br />We have had the idea that our land is so vast and rich that we could NEVER possibly use so much as to have any affect on it what-so-ever, regardless of how big our homes got, or how much energy we used.<br /><br />Oh, the times they are a-changin'.Gregg Koephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09349453216733070775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4312736954468978064.post-60185518318060291422014-04-11T19:58:36.899-03:002014-04-11T19:58:36.899-03:00Firstly, I love Nova Scotia!

The average size of a new home being built in the UK today is 925 sq ft and typically has 3 bedrooms. Our home is considerably smaller than that, yet has a large living/dining room and kitchen 15' by 8', two good double bedrooms, bathroom and hall 6'6" by 8'. Unfortunately, the UK population/land area ratio is vastly different to Canada, and very few homes here have anywhere near enough land attached to be self-sufficient in vegetable production.CharlottePhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16693808113369554138noreply@blogger.com
