Another sleepless night in Winterland…I am reorganizing my cupboard (at last!!) and I am finding hidden treasures, teas I thought I had run out of. Like this beloved oolong of mine.
I am always amazed at this little chameleon, I keep drinking cause it keeps on giving and every steep is different and evolves into something else. But the main show is about the burnt caramel notes, that’s for sure. (See previous note)
It is simply magic as I’m watching the halo created by the reflection of a moon crescent, caressing the crisp diamond white floors of my land. It’s a city-less surrounding and some gal might be scared to be out here alone in the middle of the night. But it’s my home, and with my faithful canine protector always by my side, I feel 100% safe, that’s how I can put on my snow shoes and go walk in the woods at 1am, the moon as my lantern, the dog as my compass…

Has its perks but most of my friends and family are begging and harassing me to go back to Montreal, quote «where the action is»! I shall keep on resisting…
what are the things you miss from Montréal ? If you’re no more in town probably less than the benefits you get to be in this quiet and relaxing area.If I had a driving licence I would probably do the same choice you did.
Ysaurella, the ONLY thing I miss from the big city is the cultural aspect…and also being able to grab something on the go cause here, cause here, there are no convenience store on the corner of the street so you must plan ahead!
I can’t do «mon marché» on my way home every day the way Europeans do :-) But i think I have best of both worlds, cause if I want the city life, I’m only about an hour away, plus there are smaller cities around that I visit on regular basis for shopping and stuff.
I wouldn’t qualify myself as high maintenance, but I do like to live to a certain standard :-)
What keeps you from getting your drivers and do the same? You live in France, the rural life must be paradise on earth!!! But reality is different I guess, especially when you are raising kids…
driving licence here is between 1500 and 2000 € it is a consequent budget and your’re not sure to get your licence the first time.Success rates are generally 50% in the area of Paris. However I tried a long time ago and I hate driving…
OMG, are you kidding?? That’s ridiculous, but I guess it’s effective on traffic issues!! I don’t think I would have the chops to drive in Paris,it looks sooo complicated so I don’t blame you :-)
Paris driving is insanity. my mother and i rented a car to spend a month in france and had to drive out of paris…i was so glad to be OUT :)
everything is different in Europe, smaller so more complicated to drive probably.Regarding the costs…unfortunately I am not kidding …imagine if you have to pass the exam 3 times as a Friend of mine…6000 €…just to get the right to drive !(she is graduated of University – I mean the driving exam doesn’t really depend on the cultural level of the persons but is hard to get)
Jealous! I would love to be able to do that!
