The Old Harbor Inn………the last stop on the New England road trip and what a stop. We had so made the right choice in staying with Ray and Judy. It was the friendliest reception on the trip, we were welcomed by one of the staff who sat us down with a mug of coffee and […]
If you are travelling over to the Isle of Wight pick up Wightlink’s complimentary magazine Wightlife. You can find them on the ferries or at the terminals. I’ve had lots of ideas of things to do and places to stay from this mag when visiting or planning a visit to the island. Here are some of my favourite […]
Small town America with big town charms…. friendly town with a great range of independent stores and restaurants and a convenient location to hunt down fall colours. Here are some of my favourite photographs.
With torrential rain and a cold nor easter blowing across Massachusetts we needed to find somewhere indoors in which to kill time before flying home. Ray at The Old Harbor Inn Chatham suggested the JFK Museum and Library and we will be forever grateful for this fab suggestion. Earlier in the week we had dropped into the J […]
Do visit this little spot in Chatham if you are in the area…..you won’t regret it! Between one and four o’clock in the afternoon the fishing fleet dock and bring their haul home. Rows of fat seagulls skitter and plunge hoping for off cuts and best of all a family of seals duck and dive, […]
A really good value visit at £$20 a ticket. There are more than twenty buildings open to the general public and plenty of displays and workshops organised by a very knowledgeable staff. They are happy to answer questions and visiting in the fall meant lots of pumpkins on display especially in the round stone barn. […]
Friendly staff keen to help with activity and restaurant reservations. 30% Discount given for future bookings with Lark Hotels. Decorated in rich colours and unusual furnishings. Small plate tapas style breakfast giving the guest an opportunity to try a number of breakfast dishes….especially loved the cheese and scallion scones and mini blueberry muffins. Location is convenient […]
Very friendly people and two shout outs go to the postie delivering mail on Bearskin Neck and the lady walking by us on Beach Street who volunteered to take our photo rather than see us Grey Travellers struggle with a selfie! Loved the pretty clapboard houses which line the streets as you enter the town. Didn’t […]
Driving along the Marblehead ‘neck’ is driving through an upscale residential area of New England. Fine detached pastel coloured clapboard houses with wide verandahs and flags, yacht clubs and dog walkers. This was a great introduction to New England, our first stop off after leaving Boston Logan Airport. The only people we saw were the […]
It is particularly poignant that as I sit catching up on my New England posts that one left still to do is my visit to the J F K Museum in Hyannis on this day of all days fifty five years since his assassination. I don’t know if I actually remember it happening but I grew up […]
