Nope – there’s no bunnies or baskets or chocolates or eggs in today’s post (though hopefully your day is filled with them!). Just the sun setting over Shag Rock, and sincere wishes that today is a relaxing one for you, that you’re enjoying the long weekend, and stopping to smell the roses – or tulips, daisies, or other more more seasonal flowers! The Berry and I are enjoying a few extra treats this morning, thinking back to when our children were young and the Easter Bunny used to visit, and, like always, planning ways to make the coming season great. Hope your day is equally enjoyable, and Happy Easter!
Happy Easter from Ocean Delight!
Happy Easter from all of our crew! We hope you’re enjoying a wonderful weekend with your family and friends and getting lots of rest and relaxation, t0o. And we’re excited to be hosting our first Easter brunch at The Doctor’s House. Thanks to Allison George for this beautiful photo of her dad, consummate Newfoundlander Clifford George. We’re lucky to call both friends. Now, get back to your chocolate-gorging!
Good Good Friday
It’s Good Friday and the start of the long weekend for many. We hope that whatever your beliefs and traditions (we know this is a big fish-and-chips-day for many Newfoundlanders!), that you can take time to take time, enjoy your family and friends, and maybe squeeze in a few extra chocolates! The weather isn’t promising to be great, but Newfoundlanders know how to enjoy themselves no matter what the thermostat says. And don’t forget – we still have room for Easter Brunch at The Doctor’s House. We think Chef Anna may top herself this time!
Still Space Left for Easter Brunch
Here’s a friendly reminder as we approach the holiday weekend that we still have some spaces left for Easter Brunch at The Doctor’s House. Our beloved Chef Anna Dohey will be preparing Strawberry Spinach Salad, Ham and Asparagus Quiche, Homemade Scones with Cream and Jam, two selections of cake, Peach Mimosas, and more. Enjoy a fun afternoon in our gorgeous location, go for an afternoon stroll, and create some new Easter traditions. For more details, full menu or to make your reservation, please see here.
Easter Brunch Menu Set!
We’re happy to announce that our brilliant Chef Anna Dohey has come up with menu for our Easter Brunch at The Doctor’s House. Think Peach Mimosas, Spinach Salad, Quiche, Fresh Cake with Berries, and more. You can find the whole menu and more details here. And remember, the Easter Bunny will leave some treats in your room at The Doctor’s House if you arrive Easter weekend. Don’t wait to make your reservation!
Cutest Easter Bunny (or, Happy Easter!)
Today is a day for rejoicing and spending time with family (some would also say eating chocolate, though I’m not a huge chocolate lover – shocker!), so today’s post is a just a short oldie but goodie. Here’s my youngest daughter, Kathryn, years ago, making what I think is the cutest Easter Bunny yet. Hope you’re all enjoying you family, or, if you’re like me and all your children live away, able to chat with them and cherish your memories. Happy Easter!
Early Easter Bunny
Although it’s not quite Easter yet, the Berry (I mean, the Easter Bunny) has been decking out our cottages for our coming guests, who took advantage of our Easter Special (Buy 2 Nights, Get the 3rd Free is good through April, by the way). This is still our first off-season, so busy weekends like this one are challenging but really fun.
One of our guests this weekend will be fellow blogger, Jenny. Being a CFA (Come From Away), she offers some great reading about the province in her blog, The Republic of Me.
Of course, Good Friday is a day for a lot of reflections and a lot of memories. I’m not sure if it’s a good thing that I need to spend the day working on the cottages with Joe Friday. At least this evening when we finish, I’ll be able to look out over Shag Rock and do some reflecting then!
