HELLO OTTAWA

Sorry readers but this is officially a mini-ottawan today. Usually, we only do the mini versions during that slow period between Christmas and New Year’s Day but today is a very different reason.

We’re stuck in Montréal because of the snow storm. 

We’ll be back in Ottawa tomorrow somehow, with regular service.

– Martha and Darren
