Hacked!!!

Many of you may have gotten an email from my yahoo account that seems strange. Well most of you guessed, that ain't me! Thanks to everyone who got in touch to say; "is this you?"

Red Poll Heaven

So, we put out feeders for the birds.... what we got was a mob of these punky little red polls. We kinda like their attitude.

Fabulous Yukon

We've had a lovely stretch of warm weather; perhaps to make up for the extremely frigid and utterly foul weather we've had for most of this winter.

England - My new Favourite Thing

They don't over heat their interiors. You can comfortably wear your woolies inside spaces that here would be heated to hot house temperatures - like my office for example...

V&A

The Victoria and Albert is officially my new favourite place in London. The food at the cafe is excellent, the tour guides knowledgeable and the whole thing is free.

More London Snow

Wow - London with snow is rather fun. There were kids of all ages throwing snowballs and making snow men yesterday. Today, the snow is sticking around and we are hoping our flight gets off the ground.

London Snow

You would think as a card carrying Canadian that I would welcome a bit of the unusual cold we've encountered here in London. Well, if I've learned anything, is that material goods prepare you for the world. We tool and cloth makers alter ourselves to deal with the unnatural weather conditions we force ourselves into. I did not bring clothes for snow. I brought clothes for rain, although arguably, improper footwear as I wished to look stylish rather than practical. Anyhow, I am completely  unprepared to deal with snow, except mentally. Mentally, I'm very prepared. And so, I will bravely go where trains and tubes fear to run!

The government (Ministry of Weather?) has actually issued a red alert and put the national guard on warning to deal with the snow. We had to cancel a planned journey to Bath to visit with friends for fear that we'd not get back; and also for fear that we'd tempt them to risk their lives coming to see us.

I'm looking on the bright side - maybe I'll have to stay in London another couple of days if the flights are cancelled....
