So many of my guests are fans of the show.

Executive Producer and Dog Master, Sherri Davis opens up to People: "These dogs are my family. They are my kids. Losing any of them is heartbreaking, and I am trying my best with Dillon and Dante to continue working and living up to the legacy of Diesel. These are big furry boots to fill, and his nephews are trying their hardest to bring to life more adventures with Rex!”

Another life lost to the sea at Cape Spear yesterday, as well as the trauma inflicted on the survivor and first responders. Always remember to stay behind the very clearly marked signs when visiting.

Looks like a green Christmas around here. Oh noooo!

I got a message from a man called Calvin Nash from Branch, Newfoundland yesterday and he told me he was chatting to his 95 year old mother Sadie and this is the conversation:

"I commented to her that there will be no snow here for Christmas this year it’s a mild one. She said “A fat church yard so“.

He didn't know what it meant. The older people here always believed (still do) that a good fall of snow would kill all germs and sickness and if Christmas was going to be mild, well the people were going to remain sick and the graveyards would fill.

Even to this day you'd still hear people say things like "A good fall of snow would crown everything". The belief is that a burst of hard cold weather and snow did the world of good for people.

So there you have it. I'm fairly sure the superstition is found in England and America too but I'd be certain, knowing Branch and that part of Newfoundland, the saying went over with Sadie's people from Ireland.

I took this photo of her back in May 2019 and she could be in kitchen in Ireland by her facial features alone.

Wishing Chafe’s Landing a smooth recovery from this fire. We will see them again in the spring.

⚠️ UPDATE ⚠️

Dear Friends and Valued Customers,

It is with a heavy heart that we must announce Chafe's Landing Restaurant will be closing for the remainder of the season. Early this morning, a fire broke out at our beloved restaurant, causing significant damage to the building. We are incredibly grateful that no one was hurt, and we want to extend our deepest thanks to the local fire department for their quick and heroic efforts in controlling the fire.

We know this is difficult news for many of you who have made Chafe's Landing a part of your summer plans, and we want you to know that this is not goodbye. We are committed to rebuilding and returning stronger than ever, and we will keep you updated on our progress every step of the way.

Thank you to all our loyal customers for your continued support. Your love for Chafe's Landing means the world to us, and we look forward to welcoming you back in the future.

With heartfelt gratitude,

The Chafe's Landing Family ❤️
