My memories of Bonavista go back more than 20 years.  We stayed with Marie and Arch White at their B&B and each year she expanded her jam and jelly offerings at breakfast.  The key was to take your toast apart so you could sample each without eating a whole loaf of bread at one sitting.  Marvellous hosts they were.  We would wind up at the Cape each evening, enjoying the puffins by the Lighthouse, the blue flag iris, and the little fishing boats and whales offshore.  Little Dairy King has always been our favourite place to eat … balancing the fantastic feed of  fish and chips while saving enough room for an ice-cream flurry.  Glynnis and Connie always greeting us with a welcoming smile and the latest whale sightings.Here, the view of the building for the Matthew replica identifies the harbour, and I still remember climbing aboard and going back in Cabot’s time, imagining what it was like when he discovered this wonderful place.  The skies always seem blue here, and despite the cool breeze at times, we have always loved visiting this part of the Island.  What’s not to love … colourful houses, sheep, cows and horses grazing freely in the Dungeon Provincial Park, visiting the Ryan Premises, or Neil’s Yard for a cuppa, or shopping for blueberry buckets at Swyers, or whatever else one might need.  To happy times, and ongoing memories….
