Wine and Cheese in Nova Scotia

Wine and cheese -- sounds like the perfect way to pass the time during this deep freeze in Atlantic Canada.

And just because there's a chill in the air doesn't mean you should hibernate. The annual Sheffield Mills Eagle Watch is coming up and Fox Hill Cheese House in Port Williams, N.S. is extending its hours during the Eagle Watch. Sunday, Jan. 25 from 1 - 6 p.m. and Sunday, Feb. 1 from 1 - 6 p.m.

Bird lovers can drop in to Fox Hill Cheese House and pick up some of cheese, yogurt or gelato; admire the eagles perched in the tall trees en route!
