Last minute touches before Easter Sunday buffet

The dining room and kitchen at the Inn are a buzz as the finishing touches are applied before the dining room open this Easter Sunday for 2012. Head chef Shelley David, has put together a talented culinary team who are busy in the kitchen preparing for the Brunch and Dinner buffets offered on Easter as well as the preparing for a new menu. In addition to the kitchens culinary contributions, other members of the Inn team lend their talents creating memorable dining experiences. In the video below server Gerry MacPhee takes a few minutes to demonstrate how she put together a few inexpensive items to create lovely Easter  centerpieces to use on dining tables. How nice for me to be surrounded by such creative people.
Jean Pierre and I would like to wish everyone a Happy Easter.

The Benefit of Yoga

Yoga is a Hindu word by definition meaning yoke or union with the Supreme Spirit. Therefore the main benefits of yoga is to unite the body, mind and spirit. There are numerous Yoga styles and Lynne prides herself in designing her yoga classes to suit her clients needs. This allows attendance by both beginners and advanced students. The last course Lynne taught at the Inn was 6 weeks in duration beginning January 30 until March 6 2012. Next course will begin late spring.

Coastal Riders Rally

The Second Annual Coastal Riders ATV Association’s LUCK OF THE DRAW RALLY was held on Saturday, February 4, in L’Ardoise as part of the Richmond County Winterfest. There were 181 participants in the club’s annual fundraiser. The day began with a community breakfast at L'Ardoise Community Centre followed by the bike run. The run, which covered 65 km, consisted of  beautiful trails through many of the scenic areas that Eastern Richmond County has to offer. From L’Ardoise to Soldier’s Cove, through Lynch’s River to Rockdale, the riders enjoyed the frosty day.

Cape Breton Island Experience

During the Winter, Jean Pierre and I attempt to come up with new ideas to enhance Cape Breton Island  Experience for our guests. We have comfy beds and great meals but customers expect more. Many adventures offered at the Inn originated through conversations with our guests. Suggestions to enhance visitors  in Cape Breton included adding a wharf  which allowed guests to relax as well as view the  boats that sail the beautiful Bras d'Or Lake. Jean Pierre, the outdoors person in this relationship, suggested adding kayaks and bikes for our guests to better experience the pristine waters of the lake and the historic Battery Provincial Park.

Happy New Year!!!
