I will admit that one of my favourite spots in the world is sitting on the edge of a cliff. Any cliff. A seaside cliff is bonus like the maraschino cherry on top of a sundae. Spillar’s Cove has an abundance of cliffs to catch a view from…just saying.Where’s TA? Right and wrong answers only.Caught Marian watching the sunset from the Queen’s Battery on Signal Hill on our evening walkabout.Tickle Cove Arch…the view beside the arch.Marian taking a contemplative stroll last Saturday in between the @rootsrantsroars Food Hike and Grand Feast. We had to go for a big walkabout to make room for the feast-which indeed was grand.The quiet of the cove, the peace before the storm…take care everyone.TA’s Facebook Page
