The Wild Blueberrries are Ready!



The blueberries are ripe. Hugh picked a lovely pailful this morning along with Colin and Sandra. They are a wonderful addition to the usual ingredients in the fruit salad that tops homemade waffles for a popular breakfast.

Want wine and cheese with your view?


What a fantastic day! We find this a perfect way to celebrate it too! Bill, Roselynn, Ellen and Olaf helped is make it a great time. Thanks for the visit, folks.

Come for breakfast


This breakfast was a hit! Sausage and pepper strata, cheese and savoury scones, and peach muffins. Add a hit of coffee. Can there be a better way to start the day? For recipes, check out our b&b website.

A visit to Lumsden Beach




Spent a fabulous time yesterdaywalking the beach with Roselynn, Bill, Olaf, Ellen and of course, Hugh. It was lovely, about 23 degrees Celsius while Hurricane Bill chugging towards us pumped in warm winds.

The beaches are pristine, and so very natural, and you can appreciate the artistry of the wind on the sand using a simple tool like a blade of grass.

Hurricane Bill stormed in about 8 pm dumping quite a bit of rain (3-4 inches) with winds about 40-50 miles an hour. This morning it was gorgeous and warm on the deck.

What to do on the weekend in an outport


People think life in the outports is dull- where can you drive 5 km, without any traffic, and attend art classes with fantastic instructors. Tara Bryon, brought up in Texas, presently a St. John's, NL resident, came to give us a weekend of relaxing, easygoing instruction in the company of 5 other great women. I was very happy with the result too!

Our first wedding


A beautiful day with a gorgeous wedding party. They were all so beautiful as they posed. The marriage ceremony was performed at the ocean's edge. The bride and groom spent the night, with the groom needing a late sleep in to recover.

Come for tea!






The plants are doing well, though if you lean towards them you could possibly hear "where's the sun?"






The netting, buoys, lobster box, and lobster trap along with the other pieces are donations from Ben Perry, Art Crocker, Andy King and Ken Roebotham. Thanks guys.










Turn left at the white cupboards, and I will turn on the kettle.








The tea room features the prints of Janet Davis, a local artist who is passionate about her heritage.














I'm serving "the world's best scones," a recipe from Jackie Gerr. And they just could be! Of the two jam choices, bakeapple wins over partrideberry.
