Bucket List Trip to Norway, Part 1

I’ve been a bit of a negligent blogger again for the last few weeks, and largely because there isn’t much to report since returning from Norway. I’ve been catching up on a fair bit of delayed “spring cleaning” — big house jobs that I’d avoided doing before our trip. And I’ve been plugging away at…

Dearly neglected

Hello there blog. We just haven’t been finding time for each other lately, have we? It’s not that I’m not doing very interesting things. I’ve got a wedding coming up and so lots of planning and organizing has been happening there. My veggie gardens have expanded and finally the tomatoes have taken off. I’ve already…

Still on Newfoundland time

By that I mean I’m still trying to maintain that easy going differently-paced attitude. I don’t want to imply Newfoundlanders are a laid back bunch — in fact they’re quite the opposite.

On hurricanes, ferries and moose

7 days far from city life

Things have been quiet on the blog-front, and I do apologize. I’ve been living in a hay field, in a hammock, with no running water, no plumbing and a couple of horses and dogs for company. Okay well more like 70 horses and at least a dozen dogs. Oh, and some people. I spent my…
