What a time we had with our @rootsrantsroars #MyFoodHike that we picked up from @seaspunyarnandcoffee in Carbonear. We hiked Nell’s Walking Trail (and learned about Nell Finn, a pioneering woman in NL municipal politics). We sipped our excellent coffees from SeaSpun and enjoyed walking through the autumnal vegetation beside a babbling Brook. We ventured to Green Point to attempt our own version of a lighthouse picnic but the gale like conditions invited us to reconsider. We found a lovely spot for our repose at the Shalloway Dock in Port De Grave. We unpacked our picnic and were amazed at the yumminess before us. Blueberry soup, apple cider, lemon chicken paninis with goat cheese and arugula, lemon and pumpkin loaf, and a yummy fall muffin in a jar with @nlchocolateco bars for snacks. Delicious all round and enough so we enjoyed our picnic once again for dinner as we told stories about our day. We also hiked the Burnt Head Loop in Cupids and ran through The Tunnel in Brigus-all with a backdrop of 8 degrees, rain, drizzle and 40-60 km winds. With layers and rain gear and not much common sense, a fine day out! Thanks to @seaspunyarnandcoffee for the yummy treats that helped us out the door on a not so nice but fine day to be out. @legendarycoasts #HikeNL #ExploreNLI know…another tomato picture. They love to pose and they are delicious to look at as well as eat. #foodphotography #garden #harvest2021 #harvestCraving a bit of sunshine for our @rootsrantsroars #MyFoodHike tomorrow…not sure we’re going to get that but some awesome food is guaranteed! Can’t wait @seaspunyarnandcoffee. We’re coming for ya!Which bench is you?The view from one of my favourite Hike starts…who recognizes it? @eastcoasttrail #HikeNL #ExploreNLKim, Marian, and I hiked, rolled, and did accessibility mapping along the @transcanadatrail T’Railway in @townofconceptionbaysouth today. There were lots of folks out sharing the trail with us-some walking, some running, some using wheels and some riding bikes. Perhaps many were turkey fueled! It was a fantastic afternoon out enjoying strolling and rolling by the sea. @accessnowappTA’s Facebook Page
