🗣️ "Best kind, b'y. Ow's she gettin' on?" ~ I'm feeling great. How are you faring? A classic Newfinese saying translated. It's a conversation starter for most and a friendly way to connect with others in Newfoundland! 🇨🇦✨

🌍✨ Got any bucket list items? Destinations you're determined to visit? Challenges you're destined to take on and conquer? Gros Morne is one of those challenges. The hike is estimated to take 6 hours—if you don't stop—but for us, it took closer to 9 hours. And let me tell you, the climb was worth every minute! 🏔️💪

🌲✨ "In every walk with nature, one receives far more than he seeks." While descending from Gros Morne's summit, we stumbled upon the most amazing sight—a moose in his natural habitat. Truly a moment that took our breath away. 🦌🏔️

📸 The Tablelands in Gros Morne National Park.

🌍🏞️ What makes the Tablelands so special? These unique geological formations are unlike anything else in the world. The striking red and orange rock formations were once part of the Earth's mantle, deep beneath the planet's crust. A truly remarkable sight! 🌋🌟

🏖️🪨 Whether you're 5 or 50, when you come across a beach of rocks, you just can't help but start skipping stones. Pictured here are the young fellas on Long Beach doing just that—pure joy and timeless fun! 🌊😄

🥕🏠 Root cellars—Did you know that Elliston, NL is the Root Cellar Capital of the World? Before the days of electricity, these cellars were vital for surviving the harsh winters of Newfoundland. A fascinating piece of our history and ingenuity! ❄️🔦

🚤🌟 We never tire of watching the boats in the harbour. There's so much joy in seeing the fishermen offload their haul at the fishery. After all their hard work, a great reward should be in store for the captain and crew. Cheers to their dedication and the fruits of their labour! 🎣🏆

🚶‍♂️🌿 Took the legs out for a stretch on the Longshore Walking Trail! This easy trail, approximately 3.4 km and usually taking about an hour to complete, offers a beautiful coastal hike in Upper Island Cove. Perfect for soaking in the scenic views and getting a bit of fresh air! 🌊🌲

✈️❤️ We always feel that childlike excitement when we fly home to Newfoundland. The warm and fuzzy feelings begin the moment we catch a glimpse of land. There's truly no place like home. 🌊🏠

🍽️😋 Don’t need to call me twice for dinner—Gonna be some feed! Folks around here love to gather, share a tale or two, and of course, enjoy a hearty meal. When you live in a fishing community, it's "Ocean to Table". 🐟🍽️

🏰🌊 Signal Hill is an iconic must-see spot in Newfoundland, rich with history and stunning views. Pictured here is Cabot Tower, where construction began in 1897 to commemorate both Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee and the 400th anniversary of John Cabot's landfall in 1497. The building officially opened in 1900 and served practical purposes such as flag mast signaling and housing a Marconi wireless station, which has since been moved to St. John's International Airport. A true landmark of our heritage! 🇨🇦📡

🌫️🌧️ "It's a mausey day" ~ A foggy, wet day. A Newfinese saying translated. Folks on the island know all too well about the weather—sometimes, you can experience all 4 seasons in one day. That's just life in Newfoundland! 🌦️🍁❄️🌸

05/09/2024

🌫️✨ There's something mystical about the fog... It's truly remarkable, the way it slowly unwraps the earth, giving it a feeling of rebirth. Every time it rolls in, it's like nature is revealing the world all over again. 🌍

🏠🎬 We are BIG fans of HGTV's Rock Solid Builds! When you come from a close-knit community, everyone is rooting for the home team. So, we love to play a little game of scavenger hunt—can you spot the Rock Solid Builds houses?

Who else is excited to see what they work on next? 👀🔨

🌲✨ Getting re-energized in nature—hopping over streams, listening to the water flow, and marveling at the beauty that is Newfoundland. There's nothing quite like it to refresh the soul and reconnect with the world around us. 🌊🍃

🐦 Catch 'em while you can—come September 10th, they fly away! You can't be serious!? That's what we said until we made the drive on September 12th. Those Puffins know. They arrive in mid-June and start to leave the first week of September. So, we took a seat in the Puffin chairs and pouted—lol! 😅

🚤⚓️ When the activity in the harbour is at its peak, we love counting the boats coming and going. There's something so mesmerizing about the hustle and bustle on the water. How many boats can you spot today? 🌊✨

🍽️🤤 May the drooling commence! That’s what you get with Keith’s—a diner in the Gould’s established in 1963. They don’t mess around with portion sizes here. Come hungry and leave stuffed—literally! 🍔🍟

🏠🌈 Ever wondered why Jellybean Row Houses are so colorful? There are two answers: the real one and the kind of, sort of, maybe, but not really real one. I prefer the latter.

Legend has it that in the early days, sailors returning from the fishing grounds would spot their homes on the hillsides after long voyages at sea. Sometimes, our city is blanketed in a beautiful veil of fog—not exactly ideal for spotting your house. So, sailors decided to paint their homes in vibrant hues to make them stand out against the cool grey mist, ensuring they could always find their way home. A touch of whimsy and practicality, Newfoundland style! 🌊🎨

🚨🌊 Green Point Lighthouse 🌊🚨

Established in 1883, it resembles many cast-iron lighthouses built in Newfoundland in the 1870s.
Located in Port de Grave at the end of Lighthouse Road, it’s a beacon of history and beauty. Come visit and take in its timeless charm! 🏴‍☠️🌅

😂❤️ “I just dies at you!” ~ You make me laugh. A Newfinese saying translated. Very fitting for International Day of Friendship —because, in our opinion, the best of friends are always making you laugh. 🤗💬

🍓❤️ Every time I spot partridge berries, I reminisce about Nanny’s jam. Some of my favourite memories include tasting the jam on crackers or toast.

Nanny’s Partridge Berry Jam Recipe:
📝 8 cups of berries
📝 4 cups of sugar
📝 For every cup of berries, 1/2 cup of sugar
Heat it up until the mix liquefies. Pure nostalgia in every bite. 🥄✨

⛪️🔴 How many red-roof churches can you spot? It’s a common game and conversation starter when you reach the top of the hill or walk out to the point. Every community likely has one, so how many towns have you spotted? Share your 📍 destination and count with us! 🏘️👀

When the biggest waves hit, gone are the burdens that weigh us down. 🌊✨ There’s something truly freeing about the power of the ocean—watching it reminds us to let go and embrace the moment. 🌟💙 📍Madrock, Newfoundland #OceanWaves #LettingGo #NatureHeals #EmbraceTheMoment #CoastalCalm #NewfoundlandViews #AnchorHouse #Madrocks

Ship Cove Makes the B-Role Highlight Reel

🎬✨ Intro to Rock Solid Builds with some stunning footage of Newfoundland! We spotted our view of Ship Cove and just had to share the highlight reel. The beauty of our landscape, captured on camera, makes us proud to call this place home. 🌊🏠 #RockSolidBuilds #NewfoundlandViews #ShipCove #HomeSweetHome #HighlightReel #ProudNewfoundlander #AnchorHouse

🌊 "This is the life." 🌊 There’s something about sitting waterside, listening to the waves crash, that takes all the worries away. 📍This beautiful clip was captured at Chance Cove, Newfoundland, one of our favourite hikes. 🥾 This 3.5 km (return trip) trail winds through the forest, touching down at the far end of Chance Cove Beach, which can also be used as another access point. 🥾 Generally considered a moderately challenging route, it takes an average of 55 minutes to complete. 🥾 This is a very popular area for birding, hiking, and paddle sports, so you’ll likely encounter other people while exploring. 🥾 The trail is open year-round and is beautiful to visit anytime. #ChanceCove #NewfoundlandHikes #NatureTherapy #WaterfrontViews #HikingAdventures #Birding #PaddleSports #YearRoundBeauty #AnchorHouse #HomeAwayFromHome #ExploreNL
