This picture, amazingly captured on a camera-phone, has caused quite the commotion. Doesn’t it look like a magazine shot? It’s actually from Danielle and Christan’s wedding, our most recent at The Doctors House. The little girl is their daughter, who is very sweet – not unlike her parents, a beautiful couple that you can’t help but fall in love with. Please see more pics of their gorgeous day on Facebook, but for now, look at that little dress, and those little helpers, and try not to swoon!
Our Little Ponies
Recently, our good friend Shirley George visited us at The Doctor’s House and took lots of stunning photos – you can see some more of them here. Of course, our favourite shots were of the Newfoundland ponies (enjoying their new fence, we might add). They’re our favourites probably for the same reason that, despite all the riches and beauty of this place, almost everyone seems to love the ponies best. They’re so gentle and friendly, love people, and of course are just beauties, too. We have to ask – have you pet a Newfoundland pony today?

Your Sunday Bouquet
There’s nothing like a fresh bouquet of flowers on a gorgeous summer’s day – unless, of course, than a bursting garden in your own backyard. The Berry and I have always been amateur gardeners, but living surrounded as we are by all the greenery of The Doctor’s House has been a real blessing this year. Thank to Shirley George for taking the lovely photo and letting us share it with you. Not quite fresh, but still up-close-and-personal!
Shag Rocks On
With our schedule being what it has, we haven’t gotten out on the water this summer as much as we would have liked. But with my daughter, Adrienne, visiting, it was all the excuse we needed to turn off the phones, and get up close and personal with Shag Rock. It never ceases to amaze me – it’s truly awe-inspiring. So thanks, Adrienne, for making us stop and smell the ocean air!
Congratulations, Victoria and Patrick!
Congratulations to Victoria and Patrick from Glovertown, who recently got married at The Doctor’s House. It was a treat to have them and their wonderful family, to share this beautiful day. You can see more pictures of their gorgeous day here, and learn about our weddings here. And yes, that is Clifford George at the helm!
Iceberg Bits = Iceberg Ice Cubes!
Icebergs are more than just pretty (and pretty awesome) things to look at. When their chunks wash up on shore, we like to collect them, keep them in our freezer, and use them as ice cubes! They’re about as refreshing as it gets, with lots of pop and fizzle when you pour in your drinks. Here, one of our iceberg ice cubes is being used with some good old Screech, but any cool beverage will do! 
Beautiful Day
Think back for a minute to that long, dreary, never-ending winter we someone got though this year. Remember the coldest, wettest, snowiest, sludgiest day, shoveling your car out for hours before making the arduous trek into the office. There – if possible, we just made you appreciate summer a little more, didn’t we? Happy Sunday!
The Girls are Back in Town!
These have been a few happy days for us, as Jerry’s oldest daughter, Adrienne, has been back in town – just 3 and a half years after her last trip home! We’re sure many Newfoundlanders can relate to having kids live away, and therefore understand how excited we are to have her back!
We’re doubly blessed this trip, as she’s brought her best friend (and fourth daughter to Jerry), Katherine, with her. This makes Katherine’s 2nd trip to the island, so she’s an honourary Newfoundlander for sure. Katherine brought the rest of her family, too, so there’s been a big, fun crowd to show around. They even got screeched in at the Shag It.
We’re so used to life out here that it’s refreshing to see everything through the eyes of someone seeing it for the first time. We’re so happy that Adrienne and her good friends joined us, and so happy they had a great time. And hoping to spend as much precious time as we can with them!
August Specials at The Doctor’s House
It’s the last day of July, which can only mean one thing – time to roll out the August specials at The Doctor’s House! This month we’re featuring a Stay and Spa Package, great for couples, as well as reduced prices on all rooms from Monday to Wednesday nights.
And of course all summer, we have a Coastal Combo Package – making it easy to combine stays at Ocean Delight and The Doctor’s House. Please email info@oceandelightcottages.com if you’d like to learn more!
Thanks again to Shirley George for the beautiful photos.
All in a Day’s Work
Here are Hubert and Leslie, who can do just about everything, putting up a wrought iron fence at The Doctor’s House. It’s about 150 years old and had been seriously damaged, but a local welding shop refurbished it. With these expert hands installing it, we think it looks pretty nice!
