Major Weekend Mood

Fire pit sitting on the grounds of a late 19th century Queen Anne style manse overlooking Narragansett Bay?

The only answer to that question mark, as far as I’m concerned, is absolutely!

Everyone’s favorite English country manor style estate — Blithewold in Bristol — is rolling out what proved to be one of last winter’s most popular happenings.

Yes, their Cozy Autumn Fires And Tasty Treats experience is back again ty thru December 17th.

For $55 ($35 is the rate for members), you get seating for up to 6 people (choose wisely, the last thing you want is to loop in someone in your world who loves to complain and hates the cold), a LOW SMOKE (if you’ve ever walked away from a fire with your hair and clothing reeking, you can appreciate that they use Solo Stoves) fire, s’mores kits, and of course, those famous water views for a 1 hour window.

Additional items you might want to bring along?

Some fire-resistant and wooly out-of-doors blankets, hand and seat warmers, and maybe a thermos or two of hot chocolate or cider.

You have the option of exploring the grounds, too, which is perfect for anyone who enjoys a wintertime hike.

Also, why not hire a local photog to do a mini photoshoot?

That being said, know that dates and times are booking up fast, so don’t rest on your laurels if this is something you would ADORE.

For complete details and to reserve for you and your crew, go to the Blithewold site asap.

As always, if you get fired up after reading this and decide to book an hour, please do let them know you were inspired by Patty J and PattyJ.com.
