We're so excited to take part in this October conference in Newfoundland. We'll give the opening night keynote, teach 2 workshops on worship leading, & give a closing night concert.

Sebastian helps Allison plan this fall's East Coast Tour route...

The Newfoundland Anglican newspaper gave us almost a full page article sharing the news of our upcoming tour!

Our first concert in Montreal! A great way to kick off our East Coast Tour. With Rev. James Pratt.

Gerald setting up at St.Philip's, Montreal.

Our first visit to Campobello Island, NB! We performed a concert for the community on Friday, and sang for the seniors home on Saturday. Our good friend, Rev. Bob Smith joined us on violin!

Campobello Island was the summer home of Franklin Delano Roosevelt and his family. This plaque in St. Anne's Church commemorates his membership in the parish.

The beautiful, hand-stenciled walls of St. Anne's Church.

St. Anne's Anglican Church, Campobello. Can't you imagine worshipping here with a vacationing president?

The hand-stitched carpets surrounding the altar of St. Anne's Church. Such craftsmanship!

The start of our beach walk, Chamcook, NB...

A stunning day on the bay! Chamcook, NB

Allison's beach walk treasures...

Thanks to Rev. Keith and Vivian Osborne for a wonderful welcome in Pennfield, NB. This ecumenical concert brought together several churches in the area, and became a true night of worship!

Lattes with a view of the bay. Only at Honeybeans, St. Andrews, NB.

Early evening in St. Andrews - the view from the pier...

The perfect place for ukelele rehearsal...

Lunch at Sweet Harvest Market! We spent many a lunchtime here in the winter - so nice to enjoy the patio today.

Driving through St. Andrews, we saw this little gathering just to the side of the road...

New espresso cups! Handmade pottery by our friend, Anne!

Trying out the new espresso cups. They work great!

Worship Leading Workshop & Concert. St. Paul's Church, Hampton, NB

We had the Worship Leading Workshop musicians join us on 10,000 Reasons to open our evening concert.

Cal Lewis interviewed us for his radio show, Cal's Closet on CFTA FM.

Halifax Folklore Centre - a must visit for all musicians...

The walls of the Halifax Folklore Centre are dripping with amazing instruments. We played our fair share, including a 1920's Martin guitar.

A pink penny whistle! Happy day for Allison!

Loving Halifax...

Our amazing, sun-filled afternoon by Halifax Harbour. Photos just can't capture the beauty of the afternoon...

Seen in Halifax...

Rev. Cathy and some of the Servants Heart mission team members. This was our 3rd year performing concerts to support their amazing work! Kentville, NS

We're starting to see the fall colours in our travels...

Our first visit to St. John's Church, Lunenburg, NS.

In 2001, St. John's Lunenburg was destroyed by fire. A few years later, we - as a young, dating couple - performed in a Toronto fundraiser for the rebuilding. How awesome to visit the restored church and sing in its sacred space!

The stunning sanctuary of St. John's, Lunenburg. The photos just don't capture the beauty of this place...

The hand-carved altar. If you look to the right, you'll see a burn mark left by the fire. In restoring the church, the artisans left a few burn marks to remind future generations of the fire and the loving process of rebuilding the church.

St John's hosts artists in residence. This mural was created by one of the artists, showing the 5 local churches and their role in the community.

A detail from the mural. We believe this should be a call for all churches!

Post-concert dinner with singer-songwriter George and Barbara Diamond. We're so blessed to connect with folks in our travels - George went to school with Allison's Mom!

Allison met up with longtime family friend, Reg MacDonald in Lunenburg. He brought along a photo of a young, blond-haired little Allison!

Our Lunenburg 'office'...

The imposing Lunenburg Academy. Built in 1895, it served for many years as a grade school. This season, it will host a graduate opera program. What an inspiring building for music study!

One of the thousands of blossoms in Velvet's Lunenburg garden.

Waiting to board the Newfoundland ferry!

Top deck of the ferry. It was so windy, it was hard to stand up straight, much less take a photo.

The view from inside the ferry...

Hello, Newfoundland! Port aux Basques is notorious for fog, but this was our welcome....

After the concert in Deer Lake. Thanks for the great night, ladies!

Worship Leading Workshop. St. Michael and All Angels Anglican Church, Corner Brook.

Worship Leading Workshop, Corner Brook. We taught the group our arrangement for I Heard The Voice Of Jesus Say, and they joined us in the concert that night. Great work, everyone!

Allison's favourite words...

The enticing beach entrance...

Rocky Harbour beach at low tide...

Beautiful afternoon at Lobster Cove Head Lighthouse. The lighthouse was built 1897 by shipping the iron pieces from St. John's and pulling them up the hill by oxen.

Amazing views at Lobster Cove Head Lighthouse. The flags were a code used to communicate between the lighthouse keeper and the ship captains. Today's flags read s-a-l-t-w-a-t-e-r

Our little lighthouse friend!

Such a special night singing at St. James' Church in Botwood. Allison's family has attended this church for generations. After the concert with Aunt Pauline, Uncle Melvin, and Rev. Larry.

Classic candy store!

We went cranberry picking!

The cranberry fields are planted in bogs, and the berries themselves form under the low growing plants.

A sample of our harvest! Tonight, we'll enjoy orange cranberry muffins, and tomorrow, they'll be part of our Thanksgiving feast.

Cranberry picking with cousins!
