Well it's October 9 and our first day with no guests since June 10.  We're not sure  whether to jump for joy or be concerned?  With the last of our  kids also leaving today, it's a bitter sweet time.   Charlie has returned to Bali (tough life!), Ollie spent a week with us after teaching in Thailand, flies out to Aussie in two weeks, and Beth has settled in well at Amherst.  Aimee and Jonathan have both spent times here and again we thank them for a morning off in August where they cooked and served breakfast to a full house - way to go guys! 

We have loved summer, although, Jo continues to worry about her breakfasts!  

I digress, it's really just a short break, new guests arrive tomorrow and we're almost full this weekend (we do have The Barn free if you fancy a short last minute break!!!).

With so much happening in October and November, there's still is something for everyone on the Cape.

 

With Fall rates in effect there is no better time than visit the Lower Cape, enjoy events and experience a wonderful break at the Parsonage. And don't forget, until the end of October, for our return guests, book two nights and we'll place a chilled bottle of bubbly and two champagne glasses in your room as a welcome back (just mention "cheers" on your reservations!)! 

• Capture the Cape is a wonderful weekend of events, October 10-12.  Check out local art at Addison, can you see The Parsonage Inn painted and enjoy music from The Kami Lyle Trio. Call for last minute availability.
• Restaurant Week October 13 -19, on the Cape, wonderful menus from local restaurants including Nauset Beach Club and Joe's both 5 minute walk from the Inn.  Start the day with one of Jo's organically inspired breakfasts!

A favorite of ours and where we can now let Ziggy off his leash.  On the bayside just along from Rock Harbor in Eastham.  Beautiful at high and low tides.    

Perhps an easy one this month, bangers common to the UK and Ireland. They are often an essential part of pub food. The name comes from the sausage's tendency toward bursting or "banging" open during high frying temperatures.  To avoid the bursting you would prick the banger with a fork before cooking.    

Cant wait to catch The Addams Family at the Academy Playhouse this month - brilliant!
