yeah and sam's already had a one-hour nap on her hammock
-
outside that hammock after after going for an excursion this afternoon in the
-
heat yeah i needed some shade i needed a
-
little swing back and forth and that came in handy he got the swing
-
back oh yeah oh yeah all right well mini living area
-
over here we've got a nice little sofa sheepskin an ottoman yeah a fan
-
which i think will probably come in very you want to turn it on i'll show how it
-
works it turns on from the back inside of here
-
feels good guys at the moment it's a tad bit stuffy inside would you agree
-
yeah we've got the windows open i really think things will cool down later
-
on but it's just like the middle of the afternoon
-
peak of summer wave so we also have stools
-
yeah we've got two stools kind of like a little bar
-
area for i don't know the odd snack breakfast in the morning
-
yeah we'll be showing what we've got a little later yeah we got some
-
special chips chips ketchup chips some cereal for breakfast
-
did you know that ketchup chips originated in canada i did
-
okay i did know that did you know that before you researched it
-
no i did i've known that even though yes oh okay yes
-
i actually i had to look it up what were canadian snacks and junk food
-
and uh i was surprised to find out ketchup chips were amongst the
-
things that were invented in canada there you go something to be proud of
-
so this is our little eating area basically and if we open the curtains
-
we've got the house the main house this is
-
where the owners live so there's live over there got hammock
-
rivers down there yeah yeah so we're just keeping it closed for now you know
-
a little bit of space between us yes what else we've got a flashlight
-
in case we need to go out in the middle of the
-
night to use yeah i guess if we wanted to go to the dock
-
for some reason it works and now we will take you outside so we showed
-
you the inside which is small and the outside is a little bit even
-
more spacious the first thing i love is the happy camper sign are you a happy
-
camper samuel today i am yes because i got my rest on
-
the hammock had i not got that rest maybe not a
-
happy cat or maybe a grumpy camper okay well let's be thankful for that the
-
thing i love about this place is that it's got a deck
-
surrounding the entire area this is going to be our barbecue grill
-
for the night so one of the super easy ones to use
-
spark it turn it on and we barely have anything to cook so
-
we have literally have two skewers yeah that shouldn't take very long at all
-
no we're not we're not attempting to uh a grill master your dad or anything
-
that's for sure so as we come along here the deck
-
continues and don't mind the wind because it is a
-
little bit windy and this is where i think we're going to
-
have our beers very soon we've got a couple of uh lawn chairs
-
which are super comfortable and if you come over here
-
we've got the woodshed
-
okay shall we we shall we shall okay removes the bungee cord
-
first all right sam's already been here oh you
-
haven't been inside yet wow wow you're in for a surprise
-
come on in come on in don't bump yourself
-
well okay so we have artwork covering one window then we can see
-
straight down to the water yes i believe this is called a medical
-
commode okay um so basically well sam's already
-
used it so i'm not gonna lift the lid yeah we don't
-
we don't need to see what's in there you lift the lid you go to the toilet
-
yeah um they've put a bag in there so yes they're gonna tie the bag and
-
yeah and then that's the lid for it the lid okay right you didn't put the lid
-
back on no that's for when they did that's when
-
they deal with it later okay sure look there's more artwork more art
-
in case you you need inspiration in the bathroom okay which
-
is nice toilet paper yeah we have um wet wipes hand sanitizer
-
yeah a very thoughtful station with more candles
-
yes because you know you can never get enough candles and more
-
garbage bags in case this one fills up with
-
number one and two oh my gosh i've never no no no no plans for us to to make that
-
happen too no too so yeah that is it it's
-
maybe the most unique outhouse flash yeah
-
bathroom there are no curtains anywhere but in the little booklet it said that
-
they've tested out the toilet from different angles and that no one can
-
actually see you here so you can enjoy the view maybe a fox
-
and maybe a fox maybe maybe a record we can
-
handle a fox or a reckon seeing a summer toilet
-
but enough about outhouses let's travel back in time to new brunswick in the
-
1800s so as we already mentioned earlier that
-
day we visited king's landing and no this has nothing to do with game of
-
thrones king's landing is a living open air museum where you can walk through a
-
village and experience what life was like in rural new brunswick back in the
-
1800s the best part really is chatting with
-
the villagers because they are interpreting real stories from the past
-
and they will not break character over the course of our visit we met the local
-
choir practicing ahead of the church service
-
we learned some of the town gossip while visiting the blacksmith in his workshop
-
and we bought some hard candies from the local store but we'll get to all of that
-
first up we need to hop on a wagon and hitch a ride into town
-
this is so refreshing oh it's like ice water
-
let me have a bird back here it's probably no surprise that our first
-
stop in the village was the king's head in restaurant
-
it was lunchtime and we were hungry we ordered two sweet lemonades that were oh
-
so refreshing a delicious order of fish and chips with
-
coleslaw and tartar sauce a side of giant onion rings and a
-
gingerbread cake with cream for dessert just a very timely ice cold
-
oh much needed in this heat with ice cubes
-
it's nice and sweet and tart that's the most refreshing thing in the world
-
fish and chips have arrived they look
-
amazing portions are super generous
-
that was it looks so good don't get in the tata
-
oh i can hear that i can hear the crispiness of it
-
how's that mm-hmm
-
perfectly fish and chips are uh an institution out here
-
in the maritimes
-
oh yeah these are super crispy big big slices of onion yeah these are awesome
-
just finished lunch how was it it was a feast of feasts
-
that was very good yeah it was delicious but to be honest on a day like today
-
would have been better maybe to go with one of their salads i'd say
-
yeah just love the fish and chips the onion rings were gigantic
-
nice dessert and maybe best of all was the
-
the ice cold lemonade that was so needed yeah everything we ordered was about 30
-
total yeah great prices were really really big
-
yeah like honestly you could probably split a fish and chips with someone if
-
you got two pieces like we did you could get a single piece but for a couple
-
bucks more you add a second piece of fish
-
so now we're gonna go walk around the village a little bit
-
and see what we find we've got our little map in hand so we're all set
-
then it was time to explore king's landing how it works is that you get a
-
map at the entrance with the layout of the village
-
and then you have the freedom to explore at your own pace going in and out of the
-
different buildings and meeting the various characters going on about their
-
day we visited some of the homes set along
-
the riverfront so we could enjoy the cool breeze
-
here we came across some of the local villagers who were fishing
-
doing laundry and having a mid-afternoon chat and we
-
eventually reached the local store where we bought some old-fashioned hard
-
candies
-
so we just did a little shopping at grant's store
-
got some candy some old-fashioned liquors guys
-
my family is we're all licorice addicts yeah
-
you really are my dad i mean audrey likes it the most oh my gosh i think
-
it's the worst thing in the world i got myself a little licorice pipe and
-
best of all for some vintage candy dad's
-
old-fashioned root beer and what did i get is mine still in
-
there a candy cane candy cane strawberry kiwi
-
oh
-
hallelujah away
-
we then rode the wagon to the local grist mill which grinds greens into
-
flour and millet we also visited the sawmill where we met
-
a friendly gentleman who invited us to try our hand
-
at being lumberjacks see who's the best well you could i pull you don't push
-
into it you pull into it
-
well that is a good job
-
and that was our visit to king's landing this is a really fun place to spend the
-
day if you find yourself in the fredericton area and we'd highly
-
recommend visiting but now let's get back to the tiny house
-
it is now craft beer o'clock it sure is and we're going to be trying
-

yeah sounds good
-
i have to say my absolute favorite aspect of this tiny house
-
was its location right on the water we were treated to a magical display of
-
soft pastels as the sun set and it was so relaxing to just sit there and soak
-
it all in
-
well the sun has gone down and we have beautiful pink skies we've been chilling
