Whelbourns in Canada

• Monday 1 October 2007 - Frost -4c last night

Before I talk about the drop in temperature I want to tell you about our sunday.

.

We left the Lunar Rogue around half past midnight and picked the girls up from Ceri and Jasons house where they had been babysitting. It had been a good night out with our new extended family. David & Alex (he is from Doncaster and she is from Ottawa), Jason and Ceri (both from Wales) and Julie and I (from Nottingham) . In our group poor Alex is the one with the strange accent although she does enjoy our easy joking and she loves the Pub Night.

.

So a late start on Sunday morning as we didnt get to bed until 1:30am, quick breakfast and busy getting read for Julie's Christmas exhibition.

.

We were invited to Brenda Gillis's for Lunch / tea she told me on Friday that she was in a cooking mood and would be making Maritime food for us. Brenda is from Nova Scotia and she moved to Fredericton with her three kids (two daughters and one son) last year. She works with me at xwave as a Project Manager. Well she made four loaves of fresh bread, homemade bake beans, scalloped potatoes, and maple glazed ham, with apple pie for dessert. Julie took an Apple and Blackberry crumble to contribute to the feast.  The food was great and we sat and talked for several hours leaving about 7:30pm.

.

The sky was clear and we had our first real frost the outside thermometer was registering about -4c at 5:45am. I woke up and couldn't get back to sleep so looked out of the windows at the first frost and I read the telegraph online.
