Good Tuesday morning everyone! As geographical names are having a moment, we thought to have a chat about that!

The Gulf of Mexico has been called the “Gulf of America” by the U.S. government, Lake Ontario is being referred to as “Lake America” in the U.S., and for years there have been attempts to replace the Persian Gulf with the “Arabian Gulf.”

For Iranians, that last one is especially personal. The Persian Gulf is a name with centuries of historical and geographical usage, and attempts to erase or replace it can feel like an attempt to rewrite history. Even seeing different names appear on maps and digital platforms has caused plenty of outrage among Iranians around the world and now it's Canada's turn!

These names are hydronyms—names for bodies of water—and they carry history, geography and cultural memory.

I think we're witnessing another "Art of Distraction" I've seen many of those in the Islamic Republic! You can issue an executive order, you create an outrage, your base may feel good and powerful but the name change doesn't help any real issues! And good luck convincing the fish.

And maybe, while we're all busy arguing about what to call a lake, a gulf or an ocean… we should also ask:

What are we NOT talking about?

P.S. The fish still haven't been informed of the name change, they probably don't care about any executive order and carry on with their lives!

Last week, thanks to our dear neighbour, we had the chance to fly over our beautiful village and once again be completely amazed by this incredible place we call home!

Seeing the gorgeous turquoise waters of Lake Huron and Georgian Bay from above was absolutely breathtaking.

We truly hope there will be an opportunity to offer aerial tours again next summer—we would definitely recommend this unforgettable experience to our guests! Seeing Tobermory and the Bruce Peninsula from the sky is something truly special.

Good Tuesday morning everyone, from the other side of the garage!

This week we’re showing you Nick’s summer studio! When the weather is warm, the garage becomes his music space, where he can sit behind the drums and play away.

And in the winter? The drum set moves indoors and becomes part of the Jasper Room! So yes, depending on the season, our guesthouse has a slightly different soundtrack!

We also want to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who came out and supported the local artists during the Studio Tour this past weekend. It was a success, and thankfully the weather held out for the most part!

Supporting local artists means supporting creativity, community, and the people who put their hearts into making something unique.

Thank you for showing up, cheering us on, and supporting locals!

From Keyzers Farm to our breakfast table.

Last week we picked up fresh blueberries, plums and apples… and the very next morning, some of those goodies made their way into breakfast, blueberry croissant puffs and fruit salad. What a fun day at Keyzer's fruit farm near Paisley.

This is one of my favourite parts of summer at Orange Bicycle: local, fresh, and made with a little love.

Good glorious Tuesday morning everyone ! When the Bike Workshop becomes an Art Studio!

This week, we're taking you behind the scenes at Orange Bicycle!

Our garage is normally Nick's kingdom—bike repairs, tools, tune-ups, and generally a place where I try not to touch anything.

But lately, I've been making more of my art, so Nick very generously gave me a little corner of his workshop to turn into my art space.

Because apparently, when you run a business together, you don't need more space… you just need to negotiate who gets which corner!

So here's a little peek at me making my art, right in the middle of Nick's workshop.

And honestly, I kind of love it. Bikes on one side, art on the other… very Orange Bicycle! Next week we'll show you the other part of the garage, his music space!

Have you ever had to share your workspace with someone you live and work with?

Our first Pow Wow at Cape Croker or Neyaashiinigmiing! What a beautiful experience—amazing dancing, music, colour, and the incredible regalia, especially the beautiful jingle dresses.

Home to the Chippewas of Nawash Unceded First Nation, Cape Croker is an important part of the Bruce/Saugeen Peninsula. We’re making an effort to learn, listen, and build a genuine connection with the community and its culture.

We’d love to help our guests discover Indigenous culture here in the Bruce/Saugeen Peninsula in a respectful way. In fact, our guests are stopping at Cape Croker on their way home after staying with us this weekend.

A beautiful day of learning, connection and celebration. And of course I managed to shop, no surprise 🫢

If you missed yesterday or today, you still have a chance to experience this beautiful community with all the colors, tomorrow from 6 am sunrise ceremony till 4 pm

It’s becoming an annual tradition! A visit to Sandhill Creek Sunflower Farm for a little sunflower happiness.

And this year, we had the sweetest surprise—running into Kathleen from Kathleen ! Small world, especially when you’re out enjoying beautiful local places.

A big thank you to Rosanne and Bart for all the dedication, hard work and love they put into creating this beautiful place. We’re already looking forward to next year!

They are open till Sunday, I hope you can make it down there to the magical sunflower path!
