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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

Oh Canada!

Werk Werk Werk

So, the last few weeks have been a whirlwind of activity this side of the pond. We've finally moved into our own apartment, and have both settled into our new jobs well. We had some pretty ambitious plans before we got here that we would stay in Toronto for the summer, travel the east coast…

The good, the bad, and the ugly

The Good We're coming up to four weeks since we moved to Toronto, and things haven't been too bad so far. True, we thought it would be super easy to find jobs and a place to live, but we've been enjoying spending some time together after a busy few months at home, and Cassie has loved having…

Canada with Cassie

Traumatic though it might have been for Cassie to fly all the way to Toronto with us, she seems pretty happy we made that decision now. There are dogs eeeeeverywhere here, and people love Cassie. Because she's such a stunner, obvs, and they see her when she's being good and not when I'm running after her…
