Great Ocean Road Life

Great Ocean Road Life This is an homage to one of the most amazing and beautiful places (and countries) in the world.

The Great Ocean Road in Victoria, Australia is an awe-inspiring and mesmerizing drive along the southern coast. Many years ago, we sat with a friend outside of his home and started roasting green coffee beans in a popcorn maker. Other than just getting excited about a new process, it surprised us to experience fresh coffee like we never had before! It actually ruined us for life when it came to th

at “first cup” in the morning. We realized that fresh-roasted coffee is far better than old stale coffee – and we are by no means snobs. Our name “Great Ocean Road” comes from a popular landmark in Victoria, Australia. Sim (short for Simone) is from there and we were married on a beach just by this road around 12 years ago. Suffice to say, we have been cultured in two countries, and we both have been raised near the coast, and for the last 10 years we have enjoyed the seacoast life in a small town such as Dover, NH. So try something different and start your day with a fresh cup of coffee. That is, if you want to try coffee that has not been sitting on shelves and has been roasted to order, we can provide you with fresh-roasted coffee!

Love you, kid. You're 15 today and I am so thankful for these last 15 years. Proud of you, son. Keep following The Way, The Truth, and The Life. Everything else pales in comparison.

Eastern North Carolina, I came to you like a man shedding a heavy coat, believing I had finally outrun the long white hand of New England, and yet you met me with snow. Why? I traded granite winters for marsh air and slow rivers, for earth that stays open and forgiving, and you answered with the same cold confession I thought I’d left behind. The flakes fell thin and unsure, but they were enough to reopen an old fatigue, enough to remind me how far I had dragged myself to be done with them. I did not come here to measure life in inches of silence or scrape mornings from a windshield of ice; I came to forget that discipline, that endless endurance. And so I stand, watching the snow mount, feeling foolish for my hope and stranger still for my disappointment—lost between the place that hardened me and the place that promised, briefly and falsely, to let me rest.
