Of the last couple of weeks we have seen alot of melting snow and we have some flowers (see photos below)!
Everything seems to be coming out in a rush. But we are still waiting for our first daffodil to open. I am sitting outside on the deck creating this blog entry. The day has been beautiful blue skies, 21c and absolutely gorgeous. I have the BBQ on and tonight is Chinese Pork, Rice and Zesty Zucchinni (Gorgettes to UK folk). After that we are hitting the newcomers pub night at the Garrison District Alehouse  Ah this is the life. (ps next week we have a Picaroons brewery (the local brewery) visit planned and no we are not alcoholic (honest)

I have been busy at work and I am currently conducting Project Assessments in the Dept of Public Safety here in Fredericton. I think this will lead to a long term role in the department. Which means I will be working in Fredericton and not having to travel away for the summer!

We are visiting the UK June/July and planning a trip to Whitby for some old fashioned seaside town fun. Everyone is really looking forward to the trip and thankfully (for us) the UK Pound is really suffering and instead of $2+ to the pound it is currently $1.75 to the pound. This will help our dollars go further.

Kathryn is getting ready to fly back to the UK on Tuesday (28th) for her 6 month visit. I can tell she is a little apprehensive (I have no idea why..), which is only natural. But she is well prepared and we will be seeing her in June when we visit the UK (I am sure the visit is only so Julie can check out Kathryn's rooms).

Julie is busy making some pretty impressive dresses, (see photo of one below) and now spring is here she is out in the garden raking out the dead grass and thinking about flowers. She is also looking at paint charts and planning the hall and stairs decorating expeditation.
. So if anyone is reading this and is looking for a unique, hand made dress to be made contact Jules
