A Reminder that Spring is on its Way?

The latest in the series of Newfoundland & Labrador tourism ads. And yes, it is a magical place.

After all I chose it.

Or did it choose me?

  1. A little of both perhaps: you choose it and it choose you. And yes, I know well how beautiful it is. When you get the chance (if you haven't done it already), go to Corner Brook and take a drive along the beautiful Humber Valley, through Corner Brook and all the way down the bay to Lark Harbour. It's gorgeous! And so many places to hike.

  5. PS. I meant to comment on the Newfoundlanders who settled here. I have come in contact with so many throughout my life, but one, in particular, has stayed with me since I was a young married woman, and new mother. She lived in a sweet little house behind mine, a single, very hard working, close to the vest person, but so giving and she helped me in many ways. She had an incredible green thumb, and had an ever-blooming supply of African violets and gardenias in a lovely south bay window of her wood-stove heated kitchen. She was a housekeeper for several local families and had a huge vegetable garden, as well. I loved her a lot. She talked about the hardscrabble life in her homeland, but she missed her family a lot. I think she sent a lot of money "home".....These days I often see the obits of the last of these settlers and they take me back.

  6. Well they've convinced me! However when funds permit, you'd be first on my list of tourist attractions! Lx

  7. It does appear magical. Like Poet Laura-eate, you've convinced me where my extra funds should be spent when I have them.

  8. It does look magical: a very effective ad. The geographical similarities with Ireland struck me too.
