New Found Land ... memories

• carpet of flower blossoms
• highway produce growing allotments
• windy, rainy, stormy, cloudy
• holiday season uncluttered, world's quietest
• moose munched spruce trees
• hills, valleys, ponds, shoreline … endless views
• chatty chatty folk, you'll never get away quietly
• mosquitos - they're out to get 'ya - it's personal
• triangular province shape
• resembling Scottish highlands and Dartmoor - peat, bog, flat acres
• thick with trees and small mountains
• carbohydrate devouring … donut shaped physics
• fishing, fisherfolk, fish lore, centuries old
• ancient discoveries, the Vikings
• space plenty of it, no one or creatures in sight
• I spy something beginning with 'T' (tree) 'S' (sky) 'H' (highway)
• Iceberg Ice, 15,000 years old pure, clean delicious!
• Gros Morne Tablelands, earth's mantle material, collided with earth plates, awesome!
• stars appearing closer to the earth, Big Dipper enormous!
• look as far as the eyes can see, Labrador on the horizon
• deep white foggy ferry crossings
• wild fruits home made jams, delicious, expensive
• above land electricity power lines, telephone lines follow us everywhere = civilisation??
• Provincial 'animal' is the mosquito (not really) but they are abundant
• pronounced NewfoundLAND
• dialect mix of Scots and Irish, everyone says 'ouut', am I in Eire?
• cruising 75-80 kph
• food mostly not additive free, Canadian Club whiskey is additive free
• particle board built houses
• lobster pots piled high by roadside
• stacked up logs by roadside, middle of nowhere, seasoning up for the winter
