The sun is rising and thankfully its another nice, calm day.

We are just south of Nova Scotia, or for those Latin fans amongst you, New Scotland. Actually its about time there was a new Scotland - the other one looks a bit worn out these days.
For the history buffs, Nova Scotia was colonised by the French in 1604. The good old British Empire took control in 1713 and founded the capital, Halifax, in 1749 - Presumably someone from Yorkshire was on the naming committee, although it doesn’t appear that the attempts to enforce residents to wear flat caps and own whippets succeeded.

Today’s track of the day is “Ocean Cloud” by Marillion, from their 2004 album Marbles. Please allow 17 minutes and 59 seconds to listen to it in all its glory.
