Going to Shampers Bluff

The day was very wet and grey, but this is the famous chair many have seen on Freeman's workshops or lectures.  He would often sit here and just enjoy the views,
Freeman had invited his close friends and relatives to join us for a magnificent meal of salmon, and Freeman's special salad, and to finish with a wonderful rich rum cake from the local market. The company and the meal, and being at Freeman's, is something I will never forget.
Freeman introducing us to his dog, Guyuh. (Not sure how you spell it)
Then we arrived at Freeman's house, where Sally had stayed previously, and there to greet her was her wonderful friend Joanne. Alan was ready to take a photo of the reunion.
Freeman came down the road to meet us, and escort us back to his property.
This was a great reunion of 2 great friends.
Sally equipped with the NZ Flag.
If you have ever read or been to workshops with Freeman Patterson, you will have heard of the area he lives in at Shampers Bluff.  For those of you who do not know Freeman,  he is internationally recognised as a photographer, lecturer, teacher and writer. And a wonderful person known to a lot of New Zealander's.
We drove for a while and the crossed on a ferry to our destination Shampers Bluff
We left Digby, for a 3 hour journey across to St John in New Brunswick.
