Weekend Moments: x-country skiing at sunset


Lately up north we've been doing a lot of cross-country skiing. 
It gets us outside and it's really great exercise too (which keeps us warm while we're out there in the minus 30s).

There's a lot of friendly stray dogs around town, who always like to come along.


I love being in the woods at sunset. 
The way the setting sun shines through the snow covered trees is truly magnificent.


Lately the hubs and I have a new favourite meal, brussels sprouts & tofu. The recipe comes from the amazing vegetarian cookbook, Plenty, by Yotam Ottolenghi. This book is incredible! I own a lot of vegetarian cookbooks and they're all basically the same. This one is special.

Lately up north it's been rather stormy, and all I want to do is stay in bed all day and hibernate.
This is what we face in the morning when we have to go start the car. Brrrrrrrr!

Hope you're doing well out there : )

Hey girl! don't you love winter?? I'm loving skiing and everything snowy around here too.
I just wanted to pop over here and say hello... I was off on a long bloggy break and backpacking trip to Australia and SE Asia... but I missed all my old blog friends! hope you are well.
