Hello everyone! I wanted to send a quick note to let everyone we are thinking of them. We miss everyone! LOL! Really and truly we do. We have had the privilege of many visitors in the past year. Friends and family have made the trek across the pond. In fact, I’ve seen my brother M … More Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
Part of my Mom’s visit to see us involved a trip south to enjoy a warm part of Spain. We flew RyanAir (Never again!) which made for far to many transfers and far too long a wait to get home again. Going there I though I was such a clever traveler. I booked flights for … More Torre del Mar
Okay, maybe I started this one off with a bit of hyperbole but there are times that I actually feel like my feet and hands will never warm up. I know you may be thinking, come on Saskatchewan girl, you’ve survived colder weather than this. Like the winters that it actually gets to -50ºC and … More I’ll never be warm again

However, he now calls England home. There are some days when he still asks for a few comforts of old, the … More One for the Grandparents

I’ve a friend with who I used to play rugby (I think about a hundred years ago). She now plays on the Canadian National Women’s 15 Rugby Team. Canada played at Twickenham last weekend so I made tentative plans (only in my own head though) to watch her. From that point on, things went sideways. … More Twickenham
One of my best friends from Canada came to visit and we did a day trip to Oxford. It was cold and windy (a common theme) but what blew me away was Oxford. Growing up in Western Canada, we don’t have a lot of really old anything. Sidebar: I was lucky enough to go to … More Oxford
