Afternoon Walk

Dogs playing in ocean in NewfoundlandHere’s some shots from a rare afternoon off, when The Berry and I went for a drive to Salmon Cove, goldens in tow.  Less than a half hour drive from the cottages, it’s quite the spot!  It has a beautiful park, sandy beaches, beautiful scenery, a great trail and the perfect spot for picnics – summer is going to be great!

The dogs loved the beach and water, met new friends and played to exhaustion.  And we were refreshed, pulled back from the brink of exhaustion, and reminded again of how lucky we are to live on the beautiful Baccalieu Trail. For more pictures of this beautiful spot, please see the album on our Facebook page. PLaying near our newfundland cottage renatals

Picnic, Anyone?

The other day we had a huge storm outside the Wonderful World of Whiteway that caused a storm surge here at the cottages. Alf said it will likely be the biggest high tide of the season, and Alf knows.

We were sitting at the supper table and The Berry saw something from the window. “What’s that?” she yelled.

“That, my dear, is the picnic table we had on the beach,” I said. We had it as high up the beach as we could get it, well above the high water mark, but apparently not high enough for that surge.

Now it is on its way to Ireland. If I had known, I would have painted it green.
