Sheenboro ski holiday

On Monday, Glosette Girl and I jetted off in our Kia Rio to Sheenboro, QC, where we had rented a cottage for us to hide in for a couple of days. 

First cross-country ski trip of the season!

 The cottage had all the essentials for a great Canadian winter getaway:

• Waterfront view - check.
• Down a dirt road - check.
• No Internet - check.
• Crazy cat blankets - check.
  
• Old Board games and puzzles lying about - check.
• Wood oven stove, which I kept crackling with fire  - check.
• Cross country ski trails....well....there weren't exactly trails in the area, but because the cottage was so isolated we were able to use the dirt road leading up to the cottage as a makeshift trail. A bit dodgy but since we never saw another car on the road for the 2 days we were there, I'd say it was less dodgy than going to the grocery store and trying to dodge all the people not folowing the arrows on the ground!

The hills on the road made for good fun:

 

There was a power failure on the last day, which meant we had to skip out a little earlier than we had planned, but overall I would say the visit was a grand success. It was the perfect excuse for each of us to indulge in some simple pleasures (me - eating chips and drinking coke; Glosette Girl - reading and knitting; Margot -  reading tons of bande dessinée and watching some Christmas movies and TV shows) without any guilt that we should be more productive with our time.
