Geordie Life: OPE

I have been looking through my pictures for the last 30 minutes, trying to figure out where to start blogging.

So much has happened since we arrived here and I want to share as much as I can with you.

Ummmm where to start??? I am going to have to start with ‘Ope’.

Opeongo Lake, is the Aschaber family’s favourite lake in Algonquin National Park, Ontario Canada. Even more specifically is the ‘American Plan,’ which I do believe is self named by the Aschaber’s and the Brun’s.

Soooo.. why do you need to know this? We need to know this because; this is where I got to know Anne Dreyer (aka Hair Dryer). Anne is our German friend who we met through Amy, Ryan’s sister. We met her just this summer! She coincidently has been living in Newcastle and has recently become our new roommate.

Anne I know we are tipsy here but I still love this picture!

While un-packing her things, and drinking wine with me (what else would I be doing on a Saturday?) I was re-united with ‘Ope’!

Now because there was a lot of wine drinking going on I felt the need to take a photo shoot of ‘Ope’ in his new surroundings.

Ope (named after the infamous opeongo lake) was purchased in the gift shop on Opeongo Lake in Canada by the wonderful Mrs. Aschaber. It was great meeting up Anne and with Ope again in another country!

It has already been a month now that Anne has joined us! We have also gained a weekender roommate, her boyfriend Daniel.

Daniel is from the good old North East of England and has been such a great tour guide and teacher. He has shown us the true English Pubs, English music, great coastal grounds, old buildings ruins and castles and has taught us so much about the world! He is a photographer among other things and has toured to most countries around the world. He has not travelled to Canada yet, but we will not hold that against him.

He also enjoys romantic shared meals with Ryan....
