Home is always home, and I know I often feel drawn back to North Yorkshire.<br />It’s not only the Newfoundland people that are a tough breed, I once fostered a Newfoundland Dog. He had a thick waterproof coat, the cold and wet did not bother him and he would swim in the river in a cold mid-winter.<br />souscahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01237688879618393507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293097948980376506.post-49736393174728479362015-12-11T06:11:51.845-08:002015-12-11T06:11:51.845-08:00I'm sure you know that old joke about everyone...I'm sure you know that old joke about everyone in Heaven being happy but Newfoundlanders, who want to go home!Debra She Who Seekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01845703092794695023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293097948980376506.post-60518762912129793682015-12-11T05:39:52.609-08:002015-12-11T05:39:52.609-08:00Well, I'm not a Newfoundlander, but I have a s...Well, I'm not a Newfoundlander, but I have a strong attraction to the sea, having spent my childhood by the sea on the other side of the Atlantic, and I return to visit NF as often as I can. The cliffs, rocks, rain, drizzle and fog, the spray, the fishing boats, the fish, the friendly people, it all means a second home to me. I hope I'll visit in 2016.Shammickitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11969803866899076638noreply@blogger.com
