Wednesday marked the day for our return to Calgary. The day's plan was for the children to have a regular school day (finishing at 2 pm) before we were invited to take a stroll on a private property on nearby Prevost Island. I was slightly concerned about the timing, given that Mum and I needed to be at the airport (with the dog) by about 4.30 pm, ready for our 5.45 pm departure to Calgary. After a few miscommunications and a car that wouldn't start, we were, needless to say, too late for the flight. Luckily, there was another flight to Calgary several hours later. However, the afternoon stroll on Prevost Island was lovely. The property we were on was bought in the 1920s by an Irish man named Digby de Burgh, who set up most of the island as a farm, which remains today. We wandered around the property, followed by 2 inquisitive donkeys. The calm and peaceful property almost made up for the stress that we felt as we, for the first time, missed a flight.
