Winter Fantasy

Our Canadian Rockies are the ideal backdrop for a Christmas scene. Could these wintry scenes be any more gorgeous? Last weekend we attended a Christmas party held at the stunning Rimrock Hotel in Banff. We were treated to spectacular views from our room (see below). I snapped a few other breathtaking scenes including the renowned Banff Springs Hotel. 

We're heading to the country to cut down our tree this weekend! So, some Christmas decorating posts are up next. Hope you're enjoying the festive season so far!

Christmas in a Castle

How would you like to spend Christmas in a castle? Just like the Windsors at  their Christmas retreat, Sandringham. While I am certainly not a Windsor, I did have the pleasure of a majestic retreat in the Fairmont Banff Springs over the weekend. The stunning Scottish style castle in the mountains was beautifully dressed for Christmas. Full of winding dimly-lit corridors and halls; I couldn't help but feel I had been whisked away to another time and place for a festive weekend.
