Big thanks to the lovely Lynn Elmhirst for sharing this lovely photo of pony-feeding-time at The Doctor’s House on Twitter. Lynn is a travel TV producer , whose many credits include MSN Travel (you might remember that MSN Travel recently named The Doctor’s House one of the top-ten seaside resorts in Canada). So we were excited when she and her friend, Karen Sealy, the equally accomplished interior designer and on-air personality for Cityline and HGTV, paid us a visit last week.
The only thing more impressive than the list of credits for these women was their openness and sense of adventure. Jerry loved showing them all the lovely features of The Doctor’s House, including, as you can see, a visit to our animal sanctuary. We know they enjoyed Dining at The Doctor’s House with Chris Chafe, too.
Jerry’s favourite part, though, was sharing a lovely breakfast before beginning their morning together. He said it was like talking to old friends, and he thoroughly enjoyed it. We’re so happy that these wonderful women included us on their trip to Newfoundland, and wish them well on their journey!
Last weekend’s Alice’s Tea Party was a huge, whimsical success, and we’re so happy to have been a part of it. Of course, this was the event, sponsored by the Whiteway Spring Hare and Newfoundland and Labrador Arts Council, that welcomed artists and guests to celebrate in our English gardens at The Doctor’s House. We were delighted to host well over 100 attendees, and, judging from our excelllent feedback, everyone really enjoyed themselves. Everyone loved the venue, Chef Cate’s specialties (what garden party is complete without afternoon tea?) and the ambiance – so much so that we hope to make this an annual tradition! A big thanks to the wonderful artists, poets and musicians who helped to make such a wonderful afternoon.
