Victoria, B.C. What a beautiful city! We took the boat across from somewhere in Washington! It was about an hour and you dock right in downtown Victoria. Joseph and bernadette had booked us into a wonderful hotel, with views over the harbour, we had a suite as their were 7 of us. Bernadette, Joseph, Therse,…

More about Seattle…… On the Mon we all went over to cousin Andrew’s house to visit with him, it is a great old house which he has done up really nicely, we just hung out with everyone. Charlotte, very kindly, took us around to her place which is a converted church, it is spectacular inside,…

To Continue…….. We had a wonderful welcome when we got to Bernadette and Joseph’s house in Port Orchard. My cousins were already there: Therese, Eric, Bryan and of course Christine. Because they had such a house full, mum and I stayed in the town of Port Orchard at a Holiday Inn Express. This was a…

Mum and I arrived back from Seattle on 9th July and it has taken me until now to get sorted out. Mum and dad arrived on 23rd June because we wanted to have some time for mum to rest before the 9hr flight to Seattle. Dad brought her down and we went around the area…

The hot hot summer is rolling on here, and all without air conditioning! It is getting to the point here where we are considering investing in something called the portable AC unit – sounds interesting, though I don’t think it’s the personal, backpack type yet? Shouldn’t complain though, as this appears to be likely one…

I got back from Seattle a couple of weekends ago. Yeesh, it’s already been two weeks? That went by really fast. Before I know it, I’m going to be back in school. I haven’t even done any relaxing yet, this summer! The trip to Seattle (well, I suppose it was Manchester just outside of Seattle)…

David’s visit: We had a great time! He is a lovely kid, very loving and giving. He plays well on his own, too. We had to go pick Gerard and Kay up from Heathrow on Tues. They stayed untill Fri and on Wed morning they took David swimming while I did a Pilates class. Gerard…

I got through school all right! It’s over! Yay!! Now I can enjoy my summer, and clean the house. I started by dusting yesterday! It was really gross. I have to do the upstairs next (computer room and my bedroom, oh and the bathroom shelves are thick with dust too). I feel like I have…

Oops! Done it again. I guess I am busy!!! That war again. Need I comment really? Where is Saddam’s body? Who is controlling the oil? Who is running Iraq? Who is helping the Iraqis? Enough said. Much has happened since Christina’s visit. May in the garden was lovely. Although we had lots of rain, things…

Things are going quite well at work. Have more and more to do as time goes on (a good thing!). I’m taking a summer school class (Information Design 1) so I’ll have to take less next year… it’s almost over, too, and summer’s barely begun! That’s also a good thing… I like this course, it’s…
