The Doukhobors are an ethnic group of Russian origin. They were defined as a religious philosophy, social movement, or simply a "way of life" known generically as Spriritual Christianity. We visited the 'Old' heritage site in Veregin after spending the night at their parking lot!
Our next stop was Muenster! Time for some Wooffing. We had a very interesting stay at St. Peters Abbey. It was great to meet the monks and we had the honour to work with the gardener and his daughter, Jim and Rachelle Ternier. A lovely man with a passion for plants, especially perrenials and even more, their seeds and a spontaneous young woman who just likes to help her father! People from all over the world contact Jim to order his seeds. Thanx for sharing your knowledge with us Jim, we had a great time!
June is flower season in this province, everything looks and smells very nice. The Orchard is blooming and the irises are lovely. We enjoyed everything around us and helped Jim where we could, soms in het nederlands, soms in het frans, latijn zelf en engels ; ).
The food in the Abbey was great and so were the monks. Thanks brother Kurt for having us over! You're a perfect Mother-hen for the Wwoofers. And brother Basil, thanks for taking care of us and for introducing us to the Knorr family!
After mentioning that we really wanted to eat moose, brother Basil arranged us a supper with a local familie of hunters and I can tell you that it was one of the best meals we had this last seven months. We loved the taste of the tender moose (Eat moose: CHECK!) and all the other great dishes they presented us, thanks Wally and Olga for having us over and thanks Elly for the awesome mosquito-attracting dessert, it was our pleasure meeting your family! Elly and Diamon visited us the evening before we left...
Another good experience passed by very quickly. Saskatoon here we come, Rachelle will take us on a trip through the city and we will celebrate her birthday together. We'll also meet Elly again and she will introduce us to her twinsister, great times coming up...keep on reading dear friends! And did you know that the monks have their own special methods to keep it quiet at the Abbey...: )! Check http://www.stpetersabbey.ca/ for the springpicture 2011.
