clochette Posted January 5 Posted January 5 We had snow this afternoon. Just a light dusting that ended up being 2cm and as the day end it was freezing but luckily the roads were ok (except my street). Black ice is expected for tomorrow morning... No school bus tomorrow so no bus to take us to the swimming pool in the afternoon. 1 1 2

Hey Page I have been working on a brew for after a walk in the forest - to sip after a session of shinrin-yoku or forest bathing. Starting with a gunpowder oolong and adding a touch of eucalyptus leaves and lemon Myrtle. Not sure I have the ratios right so there is an awful amount of blending, steeping and sipping. The idea is to prepare the brew before you go and sip it in the forest after the walk. Soooooooo much drinking… 3

Did the boys go back to school on their own free will? (I know I wouldn't ) Things are going well, thanks. Max and Colton were excited to return to school. They couldn't wait to hang out with their friends again. On Sunday, I made espresso brownie sandwiches with coffee buttercream, topped with chocolate ganache. I also did some de-cluttering around the house. Various books, clothes and sundry items have been placed in boxes for donation to charity. 3
