just a couple....
age 16,1987....went on holiday with my parents and evil older sister to canada for 3 weeks,staying with my grandparents.they are lovely,but at sixteen and having done this thing twice before i was not expecting anything special but the day we arrived my uncle,a wannabe mountain man,says im on a camping trip with him the day after,for a week.
i spent that night at his buddys drinking home brew and projectile vomited all over my hosts garden and porch.the trip up north was enjoyed while nursing my first hangover(8hrs...bad)we camped at a place on the ottawa/ontario border caled samuel de champlain. it was the most remote place i had ever been.the highlight was on the first day when we followed a small trail for about 15 minutes.we just moaned and bitched about the bugs biting all the way when ,out of the blue ,we came across a cliff over a gorge with a stunning still green river at the bottom,but looking around,there was nothing as far as the eye could see but trees.360 degrees of awesome nature!the most stunning holiday i have ever had.
another ,more emotional one is when my dog died a year ago today.i had had him from a pup and he was 13.he had been suffering from cancer and i had to have him put down.as we came out of the crematorium,my partner and i,it was pissing down and black clouds were gathering,but as we left the car park the sun burst through the clouds and a stunning rainbow appeared.i am not a spiritual person,but that was definately a thank you and goodbye!
