Wild Ice – edition #1
Henry and I are both pretty active. We love snowboarding but both only really have free time at the weekend to go, and then we have to pay a sitter to have Rocket.

LadyMac
Today is one of those bitter cold days. Obviously it’s cold in Canada in the winter, and right now we are in late December, the sky is gray and it says -6 but feels more like -15.

Lake Minnewanka
I’ve had a soft spot for Lake Minnewanka ever since Henry and I first visited the site in 2017. We came through Banff on a summer road trip and couldn’t miss visiting the lake with the funny name.

It was nice but it never really felt like home. We had to find a place to live afterContinue reading “Starting again”

We don’t haveContinue reading “Sundance Lodges: review”
