Happy St. Paddy’s!

Rural Newfoundlander Clifford GeorgeThere are many ways to say Happy St. Patrick’s Day but a picture is worth a 1000 words. In Paddy’s Day lingo all we can say is O’Clifford, O’George – what a great and quintessential Irish photo.

Allison has certainly captured the spirit of the Irish in this great pic. Clifford could be a leprechaun, an Irish poet, an Irish thinker, writer or anything Irish. Thankfully, he’s also all-Newfoundland, and all of the above – a true artist and true friend, with a touch of magic, too.

Allison and her partner Colleen of Artfully Yours Photography are our preferred wedding photographers at The Doctor’s House, and we’re sure you can see why. So expect to see more of their great work as we move into wedding season!

Winter Wonderland … This Could be You!

Perhaps this particular post is a little too self/cottage-indulgent – I don’t tend to use this space to advertise much. But hey, I was just voted for a 2012 Canadian Blog Award in the Business or Professional Life category (thanks again!).

Anyway, (surprise, surprise), I love Whiteway in Winter (when don’t I love it?). And I think we’ve come up with a fun way to share it with you over the holidays – with the New Year’s Even package we’re rolling out. We’re calling it our ‘New Year’s Resolution Package’ – since so many people resolve to spend more time with their family and friends! So we thought we’d make that a bit easier, with early check-in and late check-out, sparkling wine, a surprise celebration bag, a ‘morning after’ continental breakfast basket, and snowshoes and firewood for 2. Check over here if you’d like more details and pricing.

So there! That’s my pitch! If you don’t like it, don’t get mad at me – The Berry made me do it!!

Finally, stay tuned – this weekend we’re going to be revamping our website – we think you’ll like the new look. And we’ll be rolling out a contest (our first) to go along with it. Looks like the holidays are getting us in the Ocean Delight mood!
