Well it has been awhile since my last entry and alot has happened.

I am working like someone in the UK , the last three weeks have been very busy. I have been revising for 3 exams, preparing 2 presentations and closing down one project while opening up another. All this and transferring between two business divisions within xwave! I haven't had time for personal emails, blog entries or even time to get a haircut

.

I can always tell when I am working too hard because Jules asked me "So why did we come to Canada?".

.

I drove to Quebec (the city), delivered a presentation at the national eHealth 2009 conference (and sat two healthcare consultant exams). The lawn has been growing even though I have mowed it (how inconsiderate).

Back to the title and "Things you find in your Garden", well the Hummingbirds are back. They kept flying up to the window until we put one out (almost demanding attention). Other things you find in your garden include Fireflys, long nosed wood beetles, Garter Snakes (not poisonous and dont really bite if you handle them gently). See the photo below.

One more thing was found in the garden this June. At last we have a bluebell come through!! Our first since we planted about 10 a couple of years ago.

Another unusual sighting in the back garden was me digging! I was creating a vegatable plot. I have actually planted peas, spring onions, pickling onions, forget me nots(yes I know you cannot eat them) and Kathryn has planted some red onions (we like onions), beetroot and some lettuces. Depending on how well they grow you may get to see some photos. Although I am betting that some wildlife comes in and eats the lot before we get chance to try them. Our onion planting extravaganza leads us to be hopeful that we will get to eat something from our plot.

We are all looking forward to our holiday in Whitby (in the UK) and hoping that there can be a general election at the same time so we can vote
