WATCHING "ROAD TO AVONLEA" for "Tea In The Garden"

This summer we have had a delightful time watching the film series "Road to Avonlea". 

Today I am telling those of you who are

interested - that this is a wonderful series.

I especially enjoyed the character of Hetty

King played by Jackie Burroughs who 

passed away  at age 71 in 2010. Also, another

 favorite is the character of Gus Pike played by Michael Mahonen who now is

 53 years old.

For my quiet - reflective tea time today I am

reminiscing about all the wonderful characters and also sharing with you

 some lovely Summertime Scones.

Here are photos of just a few of my
favorite characters from Road to Avonlea - 
can you name them?

I am trying to think what I liked best about
 this former television series largely filmed
 in Ontario with glimpses of Prince
 Edward Island interjected.  It reflects 
the time of 1903 to 1912.  I think it is the 

feeling of "community" that I love the best. 

 The idea of a small town of people

 - more like a village really - working

 together on their journey through life.  

They certainly faced many difficulties

 and had many joyful celebrations.

So who wrote all of these wonderful

 stories?  Lucy Maude Montgomery was born on Prince Edward Island and raised by

 her grandparents.  Many of the stories are fictional knock offs if you will, to real experiences Lucy had after her 

Mother's death when she  was growing up and going to school in Cavendish. (born in New London, PEI)   I see so many similarities

 between Lucy and Anne!

I think you would love these DVD's!

Please  let me know if you have already

 watched this series or perhaps the earlier Anne of Green

Gables series?
