Enfin. Très content de voir que les fromages d’ici aient fait leur apparition dans la campagne. #tlmep
Le Québec est riche de sa culture. Et oui, j’aime les fromages d’ici. #TLMEP
Posting, mostly about cheese, over at @mikefinnerty.bsky.social
Probably the last chance this season for fresh Quebec goat cheese and raspberries
Isn’t it wild folks that a city that two months ago was so hot and dry it caught fire is now so wet that it is under water? #NSStorm
This is the only way to get to my Town for CN Rail and all the trains with passengers or supplies. The tracks are hanging as everything below them got washed out. This is about 3 mins from my place. Unreal. #NSStorm
