Now what?

20 November 2008

Here we are, nearing the end of November. Christmas is sneaking up on those of us who are procrastinators and approaching steadily for those who have their gifts securely wrapped up with a ribbon. The truth of the matter is that 2008 is coming to a conclusion. Are we ready to say that farewell? Y2K seems like yesterday and now we’re not far from a decade into it. How time does fly!

Those of you who persist with reading this blog, regardless of my great intentions but inconsistence in actuality, have been awfully patient and for that I am grateful. We do have news to share. Plenty of it. I shall share the abridged version…

Doggie Sitting

At the end of October Andy and I were presented with a fantastic opportunity to do some doggie sitting for some friends of ours. We accepted the challenge and had some fun while doing so! The first photo is of Shadow, or as I nicknamed her, ‘Shadrach’. She was much like my dog in Canada, Seven, a goofy, young, playful, and energetic Lab cross.

Here we’ve got Storm. Andy nicknamed her ‘Stormy’ or sometimes ‘Meschach’

Barrington Court

We took a day trip into the West Country with Andy’s parents and found ourselves at Barrington Court, a charming National Trust property. We had lunch there and got some locally brewed Ale. Hmm… that’s a taste to acquire . . . or not to acquire!

And there were abandoned stables…

Where we enjoyed our lunch and some of us enjoyed our ale…

Immigration Canada

They haven’t forgotten us! Andy received a letter from the office in London requesting his passport to be mailed. What does this mean? They’ve completed the processing and his case has been approved. We are to be in the land of the Frozen North sometime in the early new year. This is happy yet sad news for us. Goodbyes are never fun but it will be good to see our family and friends again in the West.
