Nothing like the Wonderful World of Whiteway – and Cavendish! – for a fun day for the family. This past weekend was the Santa Claus parade, and as usual it was great. We’ll have to enter our own float next year – the organizers and participants do such a great job! To see more photos, please see our Facebook page, and don’t forget to follow us on Twitter, too!
First Snow at The Doctor’s House
Going back through some recent photos I realized I hadn’t shared this photo, from our first snow of the season at The Doctor’s House. It was taken last weekend, and it’s really gotten us in the Christmas spirit. A little snow and a LOT of The Berry’s magic touch with Christmas decorations is a sight to see. And remember, The Doctor’s House is only open til December 20, so come enjoy it while you can!
A Peaceful Scene
Talk about peaceful – freshly fallen snow, a quiet winter morning, Shag Rock standing guard in the distance. We’re happy to share that our Whiteway cottages will be open all winter, so you, too, can come enjoy this wonderful view. Especially with our Sleep In Special, it’s even easier to luxuriate in this view, with a cup of coffee and no where to go in the morning!
Shag Rock Sunday: View from the Cranberry
Here’s the lovely view from the back deck of our Cranberry Cottage. Of course this was taken a few weeks ago before winter began, but trust as – it’s equally lovely no matter what the season or weather. That’s why The Berry has come up some enticing winter packages that make your overnight stays at our Whiteway cottages even cozier this year, with firewood and movies included! Check out all the details here.
Newfoundland Sleigh Ride Revisited
Since it’s getting to be that time of year, we thought we’d re -share one of our favourite parts of winter – Clifford’s sleigh rides! We still love this video (especially Sunny the Goat wagging her little tail!). We don’t have this much snow yet, but when we do – watch out!
Celebrate the Season with Great Newfoundland Musicians!
We’re just passing along the news that the fantastic Jim Payne and Fergus O’Byrne will be performing this December 6 at the Green’s Harbour Community Centre. We’ll be there with bells on, and hope to see you! Have a great weekend, and don’t forget to check our out latest specials and Christmas gift certificates.
Office Space
Talk about a room with a view. I’ve never had an office space quite like this one. Although I’ve never lived in a community quite like this one, either. We had a great weekend, and we’re starting to get into the busy Christmas season. Please note that The Doctor’s House will be open until Dec. 20, both the spa and the inn, and that we offer gift certificates – which make great gifts!
Pretty Potholes
As says one of favourite Newfoundland artists, Bud Vincent, “even potholes can begin to look neato,with a little embellishment, thanks to fallen leaves and rose petals.” We love the sentiment, and will try to hone our artistic sides to see the beauty all around us (not hard in the Wonderful World of Whiteway!). Bud took this photo a few weeks ago in Harcourt, Newfoundland. If the potholes are this pretty, we can only imagine what the town is like! Happy Saturday, all.
Atlantic Ocean at our Doorstep
Back doorstep that is! And we wouldn’t have it any other way. We’ve had some high winds lately, tossing the ocean to and fro. The water is a beautiful deep blue, and the caps are pure white. A lovely scene! Sadly, despite the amazing weather outside, The Berry has been a little under the weather herself. We hope she recoups so we can enjoy the weekend. And we hope you have a great weekend, too!
Tuesdays with Murphy: Buddies For Life
It’s a dog’s and cat’s life, that’s for sure! Here I am with my now dear friend, Shadow. She was a bit skittish when she first joined us in the Wonderful World of Whiteway, but like I have all four-leggeds I’ve met, I was able to win her over. Which is great – now that the cooler temperatures are setting in, we need all the warm cuddle partners we can get!
