Now THIS is what you call snow!

The guys we employ to clear our driveway arrived at 3am. The snow plough came by before 7am. And Toronto got on with its day....... much to the boys disappointment there was no snow day at school despite 15cms of snow overnight.

Portuguese Update



Hi Everyone,

This photo was taken by Heidi "Bailey" Robinson on our post cruise trip to Sarasota.
But it´s obviously the good subjects that count !!!!!
Real Estate her in Portugal going well, lots of new products to learn, but there´s definitely too many ZEROS on the end of these properties.

Love to all Jamie, Clare and Max

After the snow



We walked up to the weir on Sunday afternoon - have never seen so much water coming over. The pond was overflowing into the river.

Wimps!!


Now this is what we call snow in Canada...Snow so high that the only way in and out the house is down the chimney...

Devestation!



My beautiful garden after two grandsons (and their mother!) had paid a visit!

This is Toughton NOT Boronto....


Day off school


Bet Pip and Tim wished this happened every time it snowed in Canada!

Snow Day in England


Trying to beat Pete at getting the first snow picture on the blog! This was my garden at 8:30 this morning - schools all closed, Luton, Stansted, B'ham airports totally disrupted, in fact The Midlands has vitually closed down - and all for two inches of snow (can hear Canada laughing from here!).

Frozen Farm


Can't work out how to put more than one picture on at a time - can anyone help?

Frozen Farm


We went to feed Pop's ducks but the pond was frozen so they'd gone to the river. So we went to see the new lambs instead (only two so far but more on the way).

Am trying to get my own contributor name so am posting this to see if I.ve done it. B

Canadian Update

Hi everyone
Canada has been a bit quiet recently as Chris has been traveling (surprise!). He visited Disney World and Canmore Alberta in the last 2 weeks. Meanwhile Pip is very proud of himself (hence Bev's entry below) as he has received an early acceptance to Western University - a very prestigeous school just 2 hrs west of Toronto. Well done Pip!
Here is a picture of Chris cheating at skiing......
Love Chip, Dara, Clever Pip and Tim

Congratulations! What a wizard!


Well done, Pip, on being accepted for Western (Canada's equivalent to Oxford for those uneducated ones amongst you!). And, yes, the photo really IS Pip! Love, Bev
