Well if you live in Toronto you don’t need me to tell you how cold this weekend has been. Arctic temperatures all weekend long. My family and I spent most of the weekend indoors, we cooked,baked, watched TV and ate way too much.
(Portuguese sweet bread from the Azores “Massa Sovada”);
I did go out on Saturday for work and quickly took a couple of photos, quickly is the key word. Often on cold days I think of my favourite place to be, the beach!
Here’s what the beautiful sugar beach looked like at -17C.
