I too loved The Shipping News.....<BR/>We saw puffins too on holiday and aren't they funny things? <BR/>Funny coincidence - Sam (cowgirl from CL) was talking about batchs (batches?) in NZ and I asked what they were - and here they are again, a few days later. <BR/>jxxxExmoorjanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09230395732150659356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4028290314714419963.post-14172976698408510992007-08-08T21:53:00.000+01:002007-08-08T21:53:00.000+01:00those are beautiful pictures. looks like a wonderf...those are beautiful pictures. looks like a wonderful trip.<BR/><BR/>you might like "island" by alistair mcleod. not precisely newfoundland--cape breton, really--but beautiful short stories set in the eastern seaboard of canada.lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18055442432266567561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4028290314714419963.post-48936700711145604852007-08-07T14:41:00.000+01:002007-08-07T14:41:00.000+01:00That sounds fabulous apart from the airport nightm...That sounds fabulous apart from the airport nightmare. i refuse to fly anywhere now unless I can go from and to Newcastle.<BR/>We have shacks in our dunes here, on the edge of the most beautiful beach in the world. We have friends who have one and it is where the young and aold alike all congregate to enjoy the summer. (Even in a Northumbrian summer!)<BR/><BR/>I worked in Canada for a year in 1976 and I seem to recall the Ontarians all told very rude 'Nuffie' jokes!<BR/><BR/>Hope the glandular fever is improving. Eldest had it during A levels and I reckon it took him a good 2 years to recover.

And yes, I had glandular fever at 18,it takes forever to get over it, hope he's not feeling too down.Suffolkmumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15123007594112557168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4028290314714419963.post-39133879764085899042007-08-05T19:39:00.000+01:002007-08-05T19:39:00.000+01:00Really, really interesting to read about your trip...Really, really interesting to read about your trip to Newfoundland as I'm a Shipping News fan too.<BR/><BR/>I'm sure you will tell younger son to take good care of himself - Rose still has the odd flare up after a bad bout at 17.

Same circumstances there - depleted coal mines and fishery and all the young people going away to work. I'm so glad you had a good time and experienced that wonderful maritime hospitality!Pondsidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02407539138546412482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4028290314714419963.post-43494182674154345112007-08-05T14:46:00.000+01:002007-08-05T14:46:00.000+01:00That was lovely.

I know ecavtly what you mean about lovely being away but nice to come home...no place like home...can just imagine the effect of all the mixed weather on your garden!<BR/><BR/><BR/>So sorry to hear about younger son and glandular fever-I had that and it is not nice. Hope he feels better soon, although fear he may feel out of sorts and lethargic for some time.<BR/><BR/>warmest wishes to you and yours, good to have you back<BR/><BR/>DxxBluestocking Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01502764742097142372noreply@blogger.com
