The Tea Garden - Holyrood

There is a little restaurant tucked away behind a wall of greenery in Holyrood, and it's called The Tea Garden.  I have been here a few times - celebrating our anniversary, for my husband's sister's wedding, for a Pink Days in Bloom event, and most recently for my Mom's birthday.

It is recommended that reservations are made as they do be quite busy during their open season.  And, they are only open a few days a week.  But - it is so worth getting to dine here!

On Sunday's they serve the traditional Newfoundland turkey dinner as their special.  If that is not your style, then they do have other options, like chicken, lamp, ribs, etc. All of the menu items that I have had are delicious!

After dining there is a deck that you can explore and many photo opportunities either with the amazing ocean in the background, or in the garden with the lush greenery creating a great backdrop.

 We will definitely be back for future events.  Not only for the food and the view, but because the staff are fantastic to deal with!  "Someone" may have dropped the hint that it was Mom's birthday and "someone else" may have noted it on the reservation ;)

If you venture outside the city of St. John's for a meal, this is the place to go!


And that's a wrap on The Tea Garden.

Later Days,
Jen

Harry Potter - Which house do you belong in?

Consider this a heads-up.  This is a Harry Potter related post.  I'm a fan, a late-to-the-party fan, but a fan all the same. I didn't grow-up reading the novels, or watching the movies.  All of my Harry Potter experience is from adulthood. (This post contains affiliated links.  Meaning that I may collect a share of the sales or other compensation from the Amazon links on this page.)   I'm since read all of the novels (bought the pretty box set to display on my bookshelf), watched the movies, collected some display items and puzzles, and visited Universal Studios in Florida. All of my Harry Potter, Universal Studios, park pictures have one thing in common - I'm holding a delicious, frozen butterbeer! **Teaser**  This trip will be featured in a future post. To start, which house have you been sorted into by the Pottermore website?  I'm a Slytherin . Although, I've retaken the quiz, because this sorting was from a few years ago, and I was sort...

4 Motivating Quotes for Making Decisions

Just like everyone else, I look for inspiration online.  Whether I'm looking for project ideas, solutions to everyday problems, or for motivation - Pinterest always has suggestions.  For this post, I'm going to share some of the motivational quotes that I've used over the past few years.

Comfort Zone: " 21 Inspiring Quotes About Moving Outside Your Comfort Zone " - This is a great site for inspiration (and where this picture above is from). I don't enjoy frequently changing plans, and when plans change last minute I'm sometimes thrown into a spiral because other day-plans have been made around said plans and the change throws everything out of whack. I'm a planner to a fault. But, sometimes I need to step out of my comfortable schedule and familiar tasks and do something new.  It's a gamble...

Stephen King Collection

Hello readers! Today I introduce you to my Stephen King collection.  Recently I set up my new shelf and I've had fun organizing all my scary reads, and some of my Funko Pop collection. (We still need to move the wall decor from behind the shelf) Back in the Spring I decided that I wanted to start collecting the hard cover versions of the Stephen King novels.  And since I've made that decision I have found very little of his works second hand.  So, most of my collection is paperback, and bought new.  Sharing this shelf, for the time being, is the Lars Kepler - Hypnotist series, which I won't get into here. Out of my collection, this is what I've read: - Gerald's Game - Pet Sematary - 'Salem's Lot - Mr. Mercedes - The Stand (missing from shelf...where is this one?!?) Not read: - Dolores Claiborne  - Bag Of Bones - IT - Outsider - End of Watch - Finders Keepers - Cell - Just After Sunset - Storm of the Centry ...
