The quality of their show is excellent and you can connect with them on twitter if you wish.

Prince Edward Island Tales


















This cover just draws you in as indeed does our hidden island paradise...


Hi everyone

I just wanted to put up a quick post to draw your attention to a new book that has just been published.

This wonderful little book is the product of nine individual writers working cooperatively. They are all members of the Montague Library Writers Guild, drawn together by their common love for the written word.

Since all of these writers make their home right here on Prince Edward Island it seemed only natural that they would all reflect the flavor of Island life in their work.

The book is now available on Amazon.com and here is a snipit of what they have to say about the book.

Product Description

Product Description
"This collection of poems and short prose pieces showcases the talents of the Montague Library Writers Guild members. They have focused their talents on accounts of life on Prince Edward Island, Canada ranging from a description of cluster flies, to an account of a 5-year-old making the rounds of his community over 50 years ago. There are poems about the shore, fishing, and a youth hockey match. A piece describes why someone should choose to live on PEI while a poem describes the exhilaration of a February day."

Don't waste a minute pondering as to whether or not to buy this book. If you love Prince Edward Island or know someone who does then just go ahead and buy this book today (now)

You will not regret your taking action on this opportunity but hurry as supplies are limited.

Buy it right now at Amazon.com

Don't forget, you can receive free stuff from me on a regular basis. Sign up for my Net Friends list.

Wishing you many enjoyable hours with this wonderful book as it reflects the beauty of my Hidden Island Paradise.

Till next post.

Tour de PEI 2009


Hi Everyone

Well this past week brought some beautiful weather as well as women to Prince Edward Island.

It was the week of the Tour de PEI 2009.

This is the week that 100 fast women literally took over the gentle country roads of my hidden island paradise.

I was out and about (as they say in Canada eh) on Wednesday and managed to catch them as they flew by. Once on the Wood Island Hill in Montague and again at the finish line in Georgetown.

Here are the videos that I shot from those locations. (don't blink or you may miss them)

BRITS great fish and chips




Hey Everyone...Welcome back

I just wanted to let you know about a great place to eat if you love fish n chips. I was in Charlottetown on Friday to run a few errands, visit my new grandson and attend the Brain Injury Coalition of PEI's annual fund raiser.

As the afternoon was drawing to a close my mind wandered off to the land of fish n chips. I had heard good things about this place called BRITS on University Ave and so I thought I should give it a try.

I was very happy with the quality of both the food and the service. The London decor added to the atmosphere and the booths allow for privacy. The washrooms were clean and well maintained.

I highly recommend if you are in the area and you have a yen for fish n chips do check out BRITS.

Click Here to see their Lunch on Line Menu.


As I travel around the Island I will continue to post about interesting places that I visit. I also share interesting tid bits of information with my Net Friends as I travel the internet.

Please accept my invitation to join my Net Friends list to receive my emails . Just Click Here to sign up.

Wishing everyone a very enjoyable dining experience on Prince Edward Island.

Till next post,

Smiles :o)

p.s. Let me know by way of a comment if you would like me to check something out for you if you are considering a visit to our beautiful island. I will see what I can do.

Road Trip To PEI 09'

photo credit John Quimby 65 GMC step side


Hello everyone

Welcome back to my Hidden Island Paradise!

Today I would like to introduce you to a person of interest. Mr John Quimby

This is what John says about himself:

" I've been a broadcaster, radio programmer,voice talent, copy writer and media producer. I'm a husband, a dad, a certified organic farmer, an a mature horseman, a dog and kid trainer and a history nut. I've been lucky enough to work with some of the most talented and creative people in the world."

Now, let me take you far away from my Hidden Island Paradise to Santa Barbara, California where John lives with his wife and two sons.

Why?

Because John is traveling from his home in California across the USA to Prince Edward Island, Canada in a vintage 1965 GMC stepside truck. Reason being... well, why don't I let John tell the story.

John writes his personal blog posts at:

Dunn Creek Organic Farm PEI, Canada

"From life in the city to living in the country"

I know you will really enjoy John's story and please, please don't forget to listen to John's podcasts found throughout his blog posts.
