On this beautiful winter day we decided to take a drive to Cavendish to enjoy the sights along the way, and check out the beauty of the little village of Avonlea. If any of you are fans of Anne, the imaginative little red haired orphan from Lucy Maud Montgromery's book , 'Anne of Green Gables' you have heard of Avonlea village. Several years ago,Avonlea village was created in Cavendish as a tourist attraction and is a busy spot most summer days. In winter,however it is deserted no sign of Anne or even a tourist! It is so pretty to see though with a coat of white sparkly snow. Although it was sunny at home, at the time I was walking the streets of Avonlea it was a mix of sun and cloud.
Well, it is time for me to curl up by the fire with a good book- hmm...maybe The Road to Avonlea (also by L.M. Montgromery)!Thanks for coming along with me,
Carolyn

So delightful! Thank you so much! Someday when I am not caring for a husband with Parkinson's Disease and a son who's had 17 surgeries, I shall come for a visit! But, meanwhile there is your delightful blog and all of her wonderful books to let me escape for a few moments! Blessings!
I Love the Anne of Green Gables series. Thank you for the virtual tour....one day I would love to come to Prince Edward Island and visit all the beautiful sights there. Thank you for always sharing your beautiful pictures of house and scenery with us!
Such pretty houses I have a thing about houses people I know bring me (house for sale books) from all over the world when they travel.
Ann of green gables was such a great story you could just imagine all the people from the books living in that village.

Gorgeous photos! I guess this village has been built since we vacationed there, gosh, 20 years ago now! We did get to see Anne's house before it burned, but now we need to plan another trip. So beautiful in the snow!
thank you so much, I know what I am going to be watching today. such beauty.
Dear Carolyn,
thank you so much for this wonderful visit! I love the books and the series (also because I have a red haired daughter with a beautiful nose) and I am very happy, that Anne, Marilla and Matthew are celebrated with so much heartfelt intensity on Prince Edward Island!
Blessings, Siret

How fun to be able to visit. It does look wonderful all in white. Thanks for the journey.
Oh! I'd love to stroll those streets! Anne is one of my favorite fictional characters. Thanks for the lovely tour!
Some of the houses look like the ones in my little village, Providence Village. We're not on the east coast, however. We're just north of Fort Worth-Dallas, Texas!!!! It snowed in early January so we felt that we were on the east coast. What a day that was.
Hi Carolyn,
I just love winter pictures. I brought home 6 bottles of Raspberry Cordial in my suitcase when I visited! And, each bottle arrived safely. Imagine that! LOVE the stuff. LOVE Anne even more. And, LOVE your tour!!!
Hugs,

Thank you for a lovely journey. I would love to visit sometime but guess that won't happen, I live down under and want to visit so many places in the world, wouldn't know where to start. Shirley
I've been to visit Avonlea and Prince Edward Island a few times and always leave enchanted. I loved the Anne of Green Gables books and movies. Thanks for posting this.
Keep warm and cozy.
Love Jeanne
So lovely!!!! I always loved 'Road to Avonlea' when it was on TV and had some episodes on tape to play on the video whenever I wanted. But tapes and video have long gone now. So unreal and a dream to be living in a beautiful area like this. Those colourful houses, the surroundigns, can't get enough of it, please take many more journeys around your beautiful island to share here with us Carolyn. Thanks!
Marian
As a Anne fan this whole post made me smile. Thank you so much!! Love all the pretty colors and the detail on these buildings. I love it all!! ~Susie~
Carolyn, I just can't believe people are lucky enough to live in such beautiful towns. It is post card perfect!!! Canada is on my travel list when we retire.

Oh I have a picture of me as a kid standing in front of Green Gables somewhere. We brought home a jar of red sand that we must have kept for 20 years. Thanks for the memories....JJ
Thanks for the tour...I can hear only silence and snow crystals
What a treat, thank you for sharing!
We absolutely loved the books and the series!
Hi Carolyn,
I always get excited when you post anything Avonlea. The village is so charming! I imagine what it would look like in the summer with the shops open and people strolling down the street :)
