Luxury getaways to the ocean's edge
Today’s Budding Saturday features the work of from Bud Vincent, a Newfoundland photographer extraordinaire. This picture is of beautiful Elliston. Of course I’m partial to all things Baccalieu Trail, but we’re very happy to be one stop on our guests’ travels. There’s so many beautiful places to visit on this beautiful island!
Despite being generally quite tired most of the time from all the physical DIY labour I’ve been putting into a property in St. John’s, put me in a party, get the music going, and I become the Energizer Bunny. Under my tutelage, The Berry is becoming quite the dancer, too – and we can dance the night away. These pictures are from the Masonic Lodge Christmas Dinner and Dance in Heart’s Content last weekend. Of course, like many of you, this is only one of the Christmas parties we’ve attended so far this season – and it won’t be the last. But check out my great dance moves below, and you’ll see why I say, ‘bring ’em on!’
And guys, don’t forget – we’re running a contest so that one lucky winner can spend a weekend for FREE at the cottages. There’s plenty of time left to enter, and at this point not a huge number of entries – so the odds are in your favour. Check it out!
Doubtless I am settling into the quiet life around the bay! I made my first jam last night, made fresh from the wild cranberries we caught in front of our Heart’s Delight Cottages and the pears I picked at Sobey’s supermarket. It was the second time making berry jam for The Berry (sounds cannibalistic to me!), so she led the charge. Either way, it was a labour of love and local ingredients!
You’ve heard us rave so much about Joe Friday that you’d be forgiven for thinking he can turn water into wine. Well, not quite, but almost – he’s set up a mean wine making station in the basement of The Gannet instead. Of course, when he’s tinkering away in Joe Friday’s Winery (see above), then we call him Joe Merlot. There’s lots of Joe’s to keep track of!
