Today we were invited by J.A.& G to their rustic chalet on the Gatineau River just 20 minutes away from Ottawa. They are located in a vast green forest and park land just outside the Nation's Capital. Every summer we go to the cottage for the day, have lunch and take in the silence and tranquility of the place.
This year to celebrate our return to Ottawa after a 7 year absence, J.A.&G invited us right away to come up to the cottage. They have had this place for at least 30 years if not more, its rustic but beautiful and so green and peaceful. We always have the most wonderful meals and lots of fun conversation. These are old friends and no pretence here, we all know each other too well.
It is just fun to be there in good company. A good day, with good friends and good food, today we had venison meat, a Moose that A shot a few months ago, not Bullwinkle, it was delicious.
The Gatineau River flows into the Outaouais River which then connects with the Saint-Lawrence River that great Canadian River. It use to be an area of lumberjacks and wood mills, nowadays it is cottage country, just outside the city, hard to believe that we are so close to a large urban centre and yet surrounded by so much wildlife.
