Games
Come in. Pull up a chair.
Them days you sent a youngster up the road to say there was a game on. Now you send the code, and if a chair's still empty when you deal, one of the regulars takes it.

Got a place worth the drive?
Down the road
Well, Sunday after Mass we'd walk it. Start at the gate and go down, and every house along here I'll tell you who's in it.
Ship Harbour and the Atlantic Charter
ship-harbour · The Cape Shore
The quiet bay where Churchill and Roosevelt met in 1941 and signed the Atlantic Charter.
In August 1941 Churchill and Roosevelt met aboard warships in Placentia Bay off Ship Harbour and agreed the Atlantic Charter, the statement of war aims that fed into the founding of the United Nations. There is a monument at the site on Route 100, and almost nothing else, which is the right scale for it.
How to get there
On Route 100 between Placentia Junction and Placentia. The monument is signed from the road.
Fact
Where that comes from
On the go
Them days the garden party was the whole summer. Here's what's on the go now, and when.
The kitchen
Well, Sunday the pot was on before Mass and the smell of it met you at the gate. Here's what was in it, and how it's done.
The hall
Them days the hall had a dance Saturday and the kitchen had music the rest of the week. It's still playing. Come in and listen.
The yarns
He said, you know the one about the light on the water. I said, I do. That's a story, mind, and I'll tell you which parts.
Not the house
No, I said, that's not the house. It was down just below there. Go back up the road.
