Day 9 – The day the sun arrived. Mummy is still not 100% but she is fighting it. We decided to take a short 20min trip to Doncaster Park to see the river and attack a couple of trails. Today (weather wise) was absolutely the best day so far, it’s probably 24° and it’s hot…

Day 8 – Following on from Elliott’s Not Well, today’s episode is Kate’s Not Well. ☹️ woke up with an awful sore throat and feeling rubbish. Lots of rest today, which meant Daddy Day Care day! Started the day in the gym, Daddy didn’t realise how much this equipment hasn’t been cleaned until you are…

Day 7 – Today’s episode is named “Des tortues sur la buche” find out later what that means. It was also Mother’s Day in Canada! Happy Mother’s Day to all the Mother’s reading this. Quick trip to the IGA Express to grab Mummy some Mother’s Day ice-cream. Not too many Mother’s Day items for sale…

Day 6 – Today was wild and untamed. This is why we wanted to come to Canada and specifically Quebec. Someone told Daddy in Montreal that Quebec had been blessed with nature. Today we caught a brief glimpse of that at Parc régional de la Rivière-du-Nord. It was only a short 17 min drive from…

Day 5 – Today was a home schooling day. It was also Daddies last official day at work so the pressure was on. First job, grab some essentials as we have already run out of a few bits. Daddy headed to IGA Express (which is kind of their equivalent to Sainsbury’s) and started to try…

Day 4 – This episode is titled ‘Elliott Is Not Well.’ My heart breaks. Daddy goes into his room at 6am and Ell is curled up in the large bed not happy. Daddy propped him up with another pillow and headed for the bathroom. Daddy!….Elliott’s been sick. Poor guy. Poor Daddy and (when she eventually…

Day 3 – The day is known as “Mummy on the lake day” they explored and took the pedalo out for its maiden voyage. We made our way down to the lake, just for a little look to suss out the lay of the land and when the boys saw the pedalo, they were obviously…

Day 2 – Means getting settled and discovering things. First thing. It’s cold. When Daddy was in Montreal for work, the climate was similar to London’s, mild and occasionally sunny. In Saint Anne, there is a crispness that taps you on the shoulder and tangos your face in the morning. Grabbing that hoodie in the…

Day 1 – Our next adventure. We are in Quebec, Canada, the only French-speaking part of the country, which is like being in France, but with Walmart and yellow school buses. The first task was to get the rental car. My friend from Alamo started with “we have a beautiful black on black Wagoneer” Daddy…
