About Me

For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel’s sake. The great affair is to move. The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page. My world is the never-ending story and I expect to continue reading as long as I breathe!

St-Andrews

Just a quick post

We spent the weekend in St-Andrews at the director's cottage. It is in a beautiful location, overlooking Bocabec bay, 20 minutes from St-Andrews by the sea.

The weekend was basically lots of eating, drinking, dancing and chatting. A few of us went for a kayak ride in the bay. Sunday was sunny and gorgeous and we all went for a nice long walk along the beach. It was nice to be back around my own stomping grounds from last summer.

It was A's birthday on Sunday so I went to the dollar store and bought a piƱata shaped like a bumblebee, in honour of the international day of biodiversity. I also bought some sustainable, local, healthy candy from the dollar store to fill it up. ;)


I got P to help me fill it up Sunday night and we brought it down to the beach where everyone was gathered around a massive firepit for a bonfire. We started singing happy birthday on our way down the staircase that leads to the beach. It was the perfect addition to a quiet Sunday night beach party. The bumblebee was destroyed rather quickly. A did her best, then two of the boys managed to crack it open and we all dove down to gather the candy! There's nothing like candy around a beach bonfire to make a birthday complete.

We drove back to "camp" on Monday and spent the rest of the day hanging out.
