Stories from home

Stories, history and traditions from Newfoundland and Labrador. Some from my family in Upper Island Cove, some I tell on video, and some sent in by you!

The stories

Coombs' Day: the storm of February 3, 1868Coombs was my maiden name, and my family has been in Upper Island Cove since the 1700s. In the Cove, February 3rd has a name of its own.

I'd love to hear it! A memory, a saying your Nan used, a tradition from your bay or a story your family still tells… Or tell me what you'd like me to talk about next.
