Kings Landing visit


My favourite place in New Brunswick 
is Kings Landing!
The collection of homes from different
eras of NB life is magical.
Being a feeler of history (I sense age and am enraptured)
I become a kid when I go there.

This particular trip was a treat from friend Teresa.
Including lunch: a spectacular pheasant stew,
molasses brown bread, cider and gingerbread.

Take a gander at some of the sights we enjoyed:




 
















From the open hearth cooking and harvested
fields to the worker making molasses 
cookies and the animals in their pens—
we had entered a different time!

After gaining permission, Teresa and I picked 
globe amaranth for dried bouquets.
A farm hand and actor then invited us to 
glean the fields for any squash and veg left over.
We filled a huge bag and topped them with their apples!

I call this kind of day a “soul feeder.”
The cares of the world were put on hold while
we indulged in an escape.

May your weekend have soul feeder moments...

I love Kings Landing and one of my friends used to work there. It's like stepping back in time when living was at a slower pace.I've been there many times with the family but haven't been there lately. What a treat to spend a whole day there.

It’s def a one of a kind place. If it weren’t for govt support they’d be in trouble this year

The homes closest to the welcome centre have been transformed back into living museums. Their cinnamon rolls are phenomenal!

Wonderful trip back in time....thanks for the journey. I have an antique spool double bed just like the one in your photo. Actually had a single one too but when my son left home I sold it.
