Throughout our travels I've enjoyed the various styles of houses I've seen. Lunenburg, Nova Scotia has some very pretty brightly coloured homes with contrasting doors. I'm trying to talk Tim into painting our front door a bright colour!
We did visit Green Gables, but left Prince Edward Island a few days earlier than planned due to the incoming storm. We had hoped to visit the Gaspé Peninsula, but decided to skip that, also due to stormy conditions. We are slowly heading westward - we're one time zone closer to home now, in Rivière-du-Loup, Québec. Such a pretty little town. Tim is out on a bike ride and I am sipping tea, cozy and warm in the trailer.
We will be with friends later this week, and family early next week. The leaves are changing and there is a crispness in the air. Enjoy autumn, or spring, wherever you may be.
Glad to have news from you. We just came back home and Autumn has arrived here, it will be nice to read by the fire. I hope you enjoy your trip! A coloured door is nice mine is light green.
ReplyDeleteSee you soon.
Hi There Lorrie, What a pretty front door!!! We have those in the U.S., too, although I don't see so many these days. I think they're charming. :) You and Tim have had quite an adventure; I'm so glad you've had safe travels! Would love to see more of my own country, and I would love to visit Canada, as well. Quebec and Prince Edward Island are two of my big interests. I know you're looking forward to getting home; traveling is wonderful, but so is coming home. Thank you for sharing your travels with us, my friend!!
ReplyDeleteWarm hugs,
Denise
I'm glad you got to go to Green Gables but left before the storm. I know you're having a wonderful trip. Safe travels!
ReplyDeleteI’m following your journey on my map. Lovely to see all the places you’ve visited. B x
ReplyDeleteNice to feel you are making your way home. I'm reminded of Mole, finding his way back to 'the place which was all his own'.
ReplyDeleteSorry we missed connecting, Lorrie. Have a safe journey home.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your Green Gables pics on FB. It was a wise decision to leave before the hurricane arrived. Happy and safe travels home!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I hope you can paint your door a bright colour!
ReplyDeleteNice that you could visit Green Gables even if you did have to leave sooner than you had hoped. At least you avoided any storms. Have a lovely week visiting friends and family on your way home.

When we travelled through Norway many years ago I came home determined to use some of the lovely outside paint colours seen there. However, it was a big mistake as the colours did not suit our property or the area in which we lived at that time. Changing a door colour would not be a big deal, you could very easily change it back again if necessary - give it a try.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful door! The brightly coloured homes, no matter if small detached houses or blocks of flats seem to be people's favourites everywhere.
ReplyDeleteIt must be lovely to visit Green Gables. Anne's words "I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers" always come to my mind in September. Here the cheerful autumn time is now.
Happy and safe travels!
This is a really pretty door. I always enjoy the colour and style of the houses in Quebec and Ontario. Changing your door colour is fun. We once painted our front door red :) Riviere-du-Loup even sounds pretty - I hope you gets lots of pictures. Safe travels.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great trip you're having! I hope you can talk Tim into a bright color for your front door!
ReplyDeleteYour trip sounds just fabulous! Keep traveling and sharing!
ReplyDeleteYay, Autumn!
ReplyDeleteSeems sensible to me to head away from the storm. I can imagine that there is a little something stirring as you think about returning home. (Love Barbara's comment about Mole!) Until then, enjoy your adventures with Tim and with friends and family!
ReplyDeleteThe front door in your picture is a lovely colour.
ReplyDeleteI wish you continued happy and safe travels.
All the best Jan
That's a nice color combo on the house. I do love bold and eclectic color choices. And always enjoy wandering cute neighborhoods to see unique doors and windows. It's great to be able to change course on your travels depending on what might be coming or waiting up ahead :) Glad to see you are still enjoying the journey. Take care.
ReplyDeleteToo bad you missed Gaspé - the best part of the province in my view.
ReplyDeleteYour trip has certainly been a wonderful adventure.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great road rip you are having! We loved Lunenburg when we were there some years ago. Sorry you had to cross a few things off your list due to the storm. Safe travels as you make your way home.
ReplyDeleteI happened to see your parents at church. I introduced myself and we had a nice chat. They miss you!
ReplyDeleteI just enjoyed a lovely glance back at your overview posts from the trip -- I'm so impressed with the beauty and history and also (and not least) how beautifully you blogged while on the road. I have trouble blogging when we travel and so I didn't expect to see so much of yours! Glad I scrolled back and look forward to reading more.
