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 the "Soul feeder day" we are all in such need of one. It looks amazing! I have put it on my list of places to visit once it's safe.

I love places like this. Thanks for sharing! Janice
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.

What a feast for the eyes....Thank you so much!!! Such incredible photos!!! You should do them into a calendar...they truly are spectacular!! How I would love to visit there!!! And love your phrases "history feeler" and "soul feeder"..... I so relate! Happy Weekend! ~Robin~
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!
Aw thanks Robin! I hope the photos fed you as well. I wish I could share the scent of the open hearth cooking. Ahhhh
Mmmmm... a soul feeder indeed! :-)
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.
I like the old beds♥️
