Last weekend, we took the five-hour drive to Lead Cove, Trinity Bay, where my daughter and her family have their summer house.
I took a few photos on our walk to the beach on Old Lead Cove Road. When I lived there many moons ago, we called it Lead Cove bank.
Lots of dogberries once meant we were in store for a harsh winter, but that belief has since been debunked. Whatevs – they all seem harsh to me.
Of course, Archie came along.
His first time in Lead Cove.
Love this one.
Every year, a little closer to collapse.
An old root cellar,
still used by locals to store vegetables.
An abandoned root cellar figures largely in my new novel,
so I had to grab these shots.
Archie LOVED the freedom of his off-leash run.
This beats a dog park any day!
My kids played on this rocky beach many a time.
“Grand-Paul” describing erosion caused by the sea.
Either that, or he’s found an ostrich egg. 🙂

This past week, Paul and I drove to Deer Lake for work,
another five-hour drive each way. So all together,
20 hours of driving since last Friday.
Still, I do like fall road trips around the island!

The dogberries are gorgeous! As is Archie:). He’s a cutie pie.

Root cellars are so evocative. That one looks like it’s used by hobbits. 🙂

So beautiful! I especially love that second running shot of your daughter’s new pup. He looks so happy! And my gosh, I’ve never seen so many berries all in one place. The birds will have quite a feast. I’m looking forward to reading about that root cellar in your next book 🙂

Archie always looks like he’s smiling! He is happy in his forever home, and a lucky pup to be adopted into this family, for sure.
Thanks, Barbara! 🙂

It is a beautiful area, Andrea, that I lived in for years – 12 of them in Lead Cove. Archie had a grand time for his first visit to “the cottage.” 🙂
