We had a good trip with some nice adventures. Some of those have appeared over on my Flickr stream and some of them I'll elaborate on here sometime soon. No matter how good a trip is it always feels so good to get home: to cuddle all our critters, to cook our...

You see I'm supposed to be getting on a plane this afternoon and so far my packing consists of a large pile of clothes and knitting on top of a suitcase. I'm not sure if I'll be able to do much blogging while I'm away but I should be able to send pictures to my Flickr to sh...

I'd seen pictures of the Nitobe Garden during a lecture when I was at university. I can't remember whose class it was or what the rest of the lecture was about but ever since then I've wanted to see this garden.<br /><br />It is an incredibly serene space. It was a bright sunny day when we ...

A couple of days after we arrived I decided to go a for a walk with my camera after breakfast. I wanted to get to know the area a bit and I see differently when I'm thinking through my camera lens.<br /><br />I started off near the hotel and meand...

I'd meant to put up a note saying we were going away but wasn't sure posting to the world in general that our house would be empty for three weeks was really a good idea. We were in Vancouver enjoying the (remarkably sunny) fall weather and seeing some new bits of the city.<br /><br />Vancouver is a city I usually just see in transit or for day trips....

Rob's parents met us at the airport with Abby and she was so excited to see us. When we got home we found that my aunt, who'd been watching the house and my plants, had provided us with some fresh bread, fruit, veggies, juice and milk to get us through our first few days home. It really made getting back into the swing of things so mu...

I don&#39;t want to procrastinate on posting any longer though; I&#39;ve got other things that I want to share and my brain desperately needs to keep everything in order. So I&#39;m just going to give you a quick rundown of what our trip was and a fe...

My trip was great. I met a lot of my Dad&#39;s side of the family that I hadn&#39;t really known before and saw lots of cousins I only remembered as toddlers. I&#39;ll be going through all those pictures and pulling out some ...

There are a whole bunch more pictures in my Flickr set; I&#39;m pretty sure I already warned you but there are lots of sock-in-progress pictures in there too.<br /><br />---<br /><br />- Ottawa is the most bili...
