Sunday, backdated entry

Sunday morning was a quiet affair, with everyone dragging themselves out of bed at a pretty decent hour, all things considered. fearsclave helped raven_albion and kilted_omalley with breakfast by making yummy sausages cooked in whisky. We had pancakes and there were eggs and bacon and coffee, thanks be to every god in the sky. ;)

We sat around all morning and chatted, and I finally got around to taking photos of raven_albion's garden as well as some of the ground floor of the house. I regret a bit not having taken more photos of the group activities apart from the climbing of the mountain, but I guess I'll do that next year. It's a very pretty garden, full of sunflowers and parsley as tall as my head.

Once everyone was packed and ready to go, we took a couple of group pictures, and there were sad hugs all around. I don't think anyone really wanted to leave by that point. It was all too short, as weekends go.

For the afternoon part of the trip, fearsclave, sassy_fae, catsarah, bodhifox, aliyna and I went on a tour of the Ben & Jerry's ice cream factory. The tour was cutesy and meh, but we got a sample of ice cream, and I bought myself a cone of mint chocolate chunk ice cream.

We drove back to Montreal without incident, where I gave catsarah, sassy_fae and fearsclave a tour of my garden before sending them on their way. Then I went out and rented the first season of Prison Break so that I would finally see what the fuss was about.

It was shortly after that that I collapsed in an exhausted heap in my very own bed, ending the weekend.
