Well we are back from our pilgrimage to the UK and a week in Whitby.

We had a great time and the English Summer came out for us. Two weeks of mostly glorious Sunshine! I think we used up the summer quota of sunshine for the UK.

It had been 2.5 years since our last visit and we didn't notice any huge changes, apart from the sales and reduced eating out costs due to the recession. The girls loved the shopping (and did plenty of it), there was definitely a subdued return to Fredericton from that perspective.

I have so many photos from the holiday I decided to upload them to our online album and let you browse them.

Well I am over the jet lag and we have discovered a family of squatters has moved in while we were away. A family of Skunks had moved in under the shed. They are cute, see the two little ones below.

We now have to buy some anti-skunk shampoo for when we eventually get squirted.
