"The Cottage" - as my friend Gwen calls it


Wow where did the time go? Black Rose and the other 'kids' have grown so much before our eyes. Soon she will be driving off to University. If she chooses. Her heart's still set on Forensic Anthropology.  I came across a photo taken of she and another camper a bit ago. I hope to replicate it this summer to celebrate their 10 years of camping friendship. I think that will be really nice.

We almost moved to the community of St. Martins 11 years ago, but because of employment and such we decided to live where we do and spend as much of our summer as we can there instead.  St. Martins is the only place where you can capture two covered bridges in one picture. It's also home of the Fundy Trail Parkway. The Fundy Trail opens up previously unreachable areas of the Bay of Fundy coastline and panoramic views. The 13 km (8 mile) trail begins just outside St. Martins (with more to open this summer).


We are so fortunate to have become friends with a couple of local artists such as 'My Seaside Friend' Gwen and her partner John along with their family. Thank you for sharing your hospitality with us.


Come to St Martins for a day or two. Stay a week (or more) you can stay at one of the two Campgrounds or a cottage/rental  or perhaps stay at an Inn.

One of my favourite places, as well. No matter whether the sun shines, or the fog rolls in, St. Martin's is sublime.

Say hi to Gwen and John for me!

Hello ladies - so nice of you to visit. Gwen, now that the season is here we shall see more of each other. We have had a guest of Black Rose with us the last few times and therefore have not 'popped' up for tea.

Deb, how about it? Could you join us do you think? We could sit at Gwen's lovely home(our my 'cottage') or maybe Gwen's new shop.
