Petty Harbour and Local Celebrity Sightings
The best thing about that title is you can probably guess right away which local celebrity we saw in Petty Harbour, haha. But, we’ll leave you in suspense for the moment. As we’ve mentioned in previous posts, we’re trying to see as much of our beautiful province as we can. Petty Harbour was another on our list of NL towns we’d never visited. Surprising, since … Continue reading Petty Harbour and Local Celebrity Sightings
The Problem with “Galway Girl”
“Well, I took a stroll / On the old long walk” A conversation last week with a friend, Holly, had me thinking about Galway. Again. This is a common occurrence, believe me. If you’re lucky enough to have visited the Irish town, you’ll understand the way we’re feeling. (To any Newfoundlanders & Labradorians reading this, I’m not referring to Danny’s Galway, haha, I’m talking about … Continue reading The Problem with “Galway Girl”
Five Days After SVMF. We’re Still Recovering.
Probably not in the way you’re picturing “recovering”, haha. More so in that we spent an entire two days watching many of our favourite artists perform live. It was a mind-blowing weekend, to say the least. I still remember back in the Spring when Jess discovered the Squamish Valley Music Festival’s lineup. It read like a bucket list of performers we wanted to see. By … Continue reading Five Days After SVMF. We’re Still Recovering.
There’s A New Girl Downtown.
Her name’s Brassy Lassy. (Okay no, her name’s actually Andrea, but we love calling her Brassy.) We’ve known Brassy for a couple of years now, from attending the same markets on the weekends. We’re SO PROUD of her for opening her own storefront in downtown St. John’s. Just walking into the store does good for your soul. Spend five minutes in there and you’ll swear … Continue reading There’s A New Girl Downtown.
Fogo, Twillingate, Moreton’s Harbour. All Around the Circle.
This was a first for us. We basically based our travel plans upon the lyrics of a traditional Newfie tune. Not sure what we’re talking about? Go Google the lyrics to “I’se Da B’ye” and then come on back. Or better still, ask a Newfoundlander to sing it for you. A couple weekends back, we set out with our super simple itinerary: Fogo, Twillingate, and … Continue reading Fogo, Twillingate, Moreton’s Harbour. All Around the Circle.
Modeling Citizens
If you’ve ever shopped at Model Citizens, you know that place is a treasure chest of stylish goodies. It’s officially a “Contemporary Designer Resale and Vintage Designer Boutique”, but I like calling it a treasure chest. We’ve both been shopping there ever since it opened, and we’ve yet to go in there and not fall in love with something. And, since the stock changes all … Continue reading Modeling Citizens
Where else can you try Labrador Bakeapple Gelato?!
Remember a few years back when they changed the route you had to take to get to the top of Signal Hill? I didn’t enjoy the change, haha. What if I don’t want to make the detour into the Visitor’s Centre? What if I just really want to get to the top? Now, however, I LOVE this detour. The detour is bloody brilliant–it leads you directly … Continue reading Where else can you try Labrador Bakeapple Gelato?!
About Time we Became Tourists at Home
In the last four years, we’ve done a nice bit of travelling: Six weeks in NYC, 3 trips to Europe, five weeks in Australia/New Zealand, and a few visits to Canada’s West Coast. Every single time we go on a trip, we’ll tell our new friends that they “NEED to visit Newfoundland & Labrador”. And then they’ll ask us where the nicest places in the … Continue reading About Time we Became Tourists at Home
Warning: This Post Contains Excessive Amounts of Ice Cream
The best way to recap our time in the little town of Dingle is to tell you what and where we ate, haha. After the train and bus rides from Dublin to Dingle, we were hungry. There are no shortages of meal options around town, so we didn’t have to walk far until we spotted the menu at Harrington’s. Fish & Chips it was. You … Continue reading Warning: This Post Contains Excessive Amounts of Ice Cream
Three Days at King’s Landing
Why am I even writing this post instead of Jess? When it comes to the incredibly popular Game of Thrones series, I know nothing. Just like Jon Snow. (Okay, so I knew that line. And I’m halfway through the first book so I can tell you winter is definitely coming.) After three days in Dubrovnik, I know a little more. For example, nobody liked Joffrey … Continue reading Three Days at King’s Landing
