Today, at the surprisingly well-stocked Charlottetown library, we checked out a Carla Bruni CD, partly for some car-stereo groove, partly out of curiosity.Her first song was “Ma Jeunesse,” which referred to not such a happy jeunesse, so it was with irony that I listened to it on my happy Island home.
It’s lovely to be here, to return to old favorite restaurants (Off Broadway, the inappropriately named café that serves delightful crepes, as well as Richard’s on the north shore wharf, which serves robust lobster rolls for a fraction of a café price).
My little cottage has a cathedral ceiling and shells hanging from the beams. It’s charming and beachy and simple, just what I wanted. And it will be a treat to spend my first Canada Day at home in 19 years!
Sounds like a wonderful holiday. Relax and enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that CD. It is the perfect soundtrack for a holiday.
ReplyDeletep.s. I so hope you write about how it *feels* to be back home. I am so curious.
I love beach vacations.
ReplyDeletePater will be in P.E.I. on Thursday -- I'll tell him to keep an eye out for an attractive blogger who puns, listening to Carla Bruni at the beach.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your vacation! I'll be on the other sandy shore, way across the country . . .
Welcome home to you! Scott and I keep threatening to go to PEI for a beach vacation. It's going to happen...
