Once we left Bay of Fundy, we headed straight for the Cabot Trail, a 298km coastal road across the north of Nova Scotia. Our first day started rainy and cold - no surprises there - so I was in a bit of a sulk. The weather hadn’t been great sine we left Toronto, so I… Continue reading Dreaming of Nova Scotia
Four provinces, two people, one week
We are over a week in to the roadtrip, and we still haven't caused immense damage to each other, success! So let me run you through our first week. It started off pretty brutally, with an eight hour drive from Toronto, to the outskirts of Quebec City, where we rested our heads for the night… Continue reading Four provinces, two people, one week
Adventure pending . . .
Folks, the time has come. Our baby girl has returned to the motherland and we are pretty much packed and ready to set off on our road trip. Over the next few weeks, we will be heading to the east coast of Canada, coming back to Toronto via Quebec. Can’t wait to experience it all… Continue reading Adventure pending . . .
Coming out of hibernation
It seems like just yesterday we were landing in Toronto, just as Spring was starting to make an appearance. Fast forward one year and two weeks, and spring is still struggling to make an appearance, with Toronto battling its way out of the longest winter in twenty years. Just last week we were hit by… Continue reading Coming out of hibernation
2018 off to a flying start
February is almost over already and I’ve just been looking through the photos I’ve taken since the start of the year. Evidence points to me having hibernated for the last two months. It seems I’ve only emerged to eat, and take photos of Cassie being cute. We've just had our first bank holiday of the… Continue reading 2018 off to a flying start
2017: My Top 5
A little late to the party perhaps, but better late than never! One whole year ago, we had our visas activated for our working holiday in Canada, and we were beginning to plan our move, letting our families know that we were about to quit our jobs and move our lives across the world. After… Continue reading 2017: My Top 5
6 Months down . . .
So it seems I totally missed a month out of my monthly blogging. Oops Honestly, I don't know where the time is going. The sixth month anniversary of our arrival in Toronto has been and gone and we're now hurtling towards our first Canadian winter. Eek! I'm already reminiscing about our first summer here, getting… Continue reading 6 Months down . . .
Fall-ing in Love with Autumn*
*please excuse the terribly obvious pun After a glorious end to September, I'm really starting to look forward to the changing seasons, and embracing the arrival of Autumn. I mean fall - FALL FALL FALL - the more I say it, the more I'm getting used to it. I'm sure I'll soon stop feeling like… Continue reading Fall-ing in Love with Autumn*
Eating our way round Toronto
Anyone who knows me will know how much I love my food. I love talking about it, thinking about it, eating it, and complaining when it's not in my life. Gethin knows my hanger only too well, poor dab. And one of the best things about living in Toronto is the food, and the variety… Continue reading Eating our way round Toronto
Making ourselves at home
It still feels so strange to be calling Toronto home, but it definitely feels it now. Cassie has herself a patriotic new bed, and I finally persuaded Gethin that we should get a few pieces for the apartment. I'm pleased to report that we are now at the height of luxury living, with our very… Continue reading Making ourselves at home
