The town of Lancelin is bordered to the east by endless snow white sand dunes. They are one of the few groups of sand dunes in the world that flow to the waters edge The 5000 year old sand dunes are constantly shifting with the winds, creating steep angles that are great for sand boarding […]

White Christmas in Lancelin
Lancelin is nestled between the ocean and seemingly endless white sand dunes. From the top of the dunes you can see a pretty view of the ocean and is a great place to catch the sunset. As I recently learned, the dunes is not the best place to visit on a windy day! There are […]

They recently attended English school and find the English language to be quite confusing at times. They asked me if I had ever heard the word schadenfreude. I had not. Schadenfreude – a feeling of pleasure that you […]
