We met Elva and Laurie for lunch at Chelsea's Pub where cranberry cocktails (champagne, cranberry juice and vodka in tall glasses with floating berries and a slice of orange) were on the house. Then we "did the loop", walking the Gatineau Park's Sugarbush Trail, nicely groomed, in a clockwise direction, before resurrecting the log fire in the sugar shack's corner stove, and letting Jenny try out the pleasures of snowshoeing in the field and through the trees by the stream. The snow was thigh deep in places. Back at home we had a curried vegetarian supper, played our instruments again and watched a funny film in the basement.
In case I don't have time to add to this blog tomorrow, may I wish everyone who reads this a very Happy Christmas (or for George and friends in Australia a Happy Boxing Day). The sun is expected to shine and we're off to do some more bush-whacking in the hills where Elva and Laurie have invited us to share their Christmas Dinner.
