Dosen’t time fly when you are having fun!!!! We are off to Athens tomorrow. I am really looking forward to it! We will be there until Sun. Dave will be working Thurs. and Fri. but will have the eves and Sat. with me. No, the snow which was forcast didn’t bring England to her knees…

So, big travel plans coming up! Next week is my break from school, so I’m going to Ottawa for a few days to visit some friends (the twins! haha 🙂 ). I’m going to see Winterlude on its last day, and see Ottawa nightlife (not much, from what I’ve heard. Hehe, just kidding!) At the…

It seems all my courses are coming to a head this semester. I have so many projects coming up! Next week, the following is due: 1 – A short story about the future, based on current technologies and short stories about the future. 2 – A test on the History of Design (not too difficult).…

What was I saying about the weather? Last Wednesday night/Thursday morning, half the country came to a full stop. Why? Because of a couple of inches of snow!!!!! What a joke! Well, I thought so but a lot of the people stuck in cars for 11 hours didn’t think so! Where do we live? Has…

Yesterday we set records with the temperature, it was 14oC here and sunny. Today, the highest it got was 10oC and it is freezing now with a strong north wind finding all the cracks in this house!!! We have builders here, they took the roof off the garage today and put a new one on.…

Today we had a pheasant visit us in the garden, he spent a couple of hours wandering about and eating the bird seed the tiny birds had dropped on the floor. Yes, I got a photo of him. It was beautiful to see one so close. The sun shone today and I walked up the…

Thought I had better update this. I have been busy trying to get on top of my e-mail. We had some cold (-5°C), but sunny weather for a week. That was a lovely change, but we appear to be back with the rain now!!!! It is starting! I have joined a group at the church…

This is Christina updating for Dad. He’s really busy, that’s why he hasn’t updated in quite a while! Spending a day in Sweden here, a few days in England there and off to Germany for a night… and building things in the house while he’s at home. Just so everyone knows 🙂

I made it home safely and have now started school again. I am looking forward to my projects this semester, although it’s going to be very hectic and stressful! Before all that happens, however, I’m taking advantage of the many snowfalls we’ve had in the past couple of weeks. I have already gone snowboarding once…

We had a great Christmas and New Year with Mum and Dad in Reading. Christina seemed to enjoy herself, we certainly loved having her with us for our first Christmas back in England in 20 years! C. had to return to Canada on the 30th Dec. so she could see the New Year in with…
