It’s the end of July --- there is plenty of summer left as show the Fireweed!
Enjoyed some drives from Musgrave Harbor to Lunsden ---
And along the water ----
A walk along the beach on a sunny day!
Another enjoyable day in Newfoundland. Tomorrow to Gander to meet back up with Sharon & Don Del Rosario.
Sadly it is time to leave Twillingate and travel on. “T” a delighful, beautiful, friendly town upon the bay. Decided to drive #330 east along the water – Denny had heard of a nice boondocking spot along the water. And there it was….. Ocean front property………
Surprise – there were new friends we had met in “T” parked there too! Someone had given them a fresh Cod Fish – so it was a pot luck dinner to share.
During the afternoon they took me ‘cape apple’ picking – also know as cloud berries. What an adventure across the field and thru the woods – now let me tell you a bog is not flat, nor is it level --- it is one foot up and oh my one foot way down, then a step or two along a narrow high spot and then down into the mud. Needless to say – clumsy me was down a few times….. but we did find the allusive berry – one singe berry per plant – and the area already well picked. The trick is to pick the ripe ones – they are just a bit sweet with a seed or two inside. We were told a gallon of berries can sell for $100 – I believe it! Will make Cape Apple Jelly with my pick!
After dinner it was a camp fire with music – a delightful way to end the day along the sea shore with friends.
Thru the week we have watched icebergs come, linger and go – another replacing it soon. This is late for icebergs, but certainly enjoying them.
A bit closer with the Midnight Shadow Fishing Boat and then……it was breaking up. Note another one coming behind it…..
Note she shape now!
Look what came in thereafter…….. See the Kayakers
and a bit later in the morning it calved and look what it looks like now….
Sharon & Don Del Rosario moved on to Gander. We’ll see them in a few days. But before they left – it was time to catch up on email…..free at the library!!!
The Twillingate Fish, Fun & Folk Festival continues to entertain us. “Wicked Altogether” with “SNOOK” was a good laugh -
A Street Dance followed with fireworks!
A neat view of the fishing harbor
Good night Twillingate!
Twillingate area needs the rain. So today is a drizzily – foggy day! A view from the lighthouse and shore views…… also beautiful to enjoy the views……
Yep, there are plenty of “Fish” to choose from and then enjoy!
Plenty of Music to enjoy!
Of course there are Parades
And special treats---- Toutons are pan fried bread with Molasses or Partridgeberry Jam.
And lots of friendly folk that welcome you with a happy smile!
The Icebergs are melting, but beautiful to see!
