Hello from Canada

Hello everyone, all the way from Canada. We are having a lovely time seeing all our family and friends, as well as sight seeing. I have included some of our sight seeing photos to share with you all. 

 

We are very lucky as it is Summer time here and the weather has been fairly nice most days. It has been around 25 degrees each day, and up to 32 degrees. We have experienced some summer storms, and a tornado even touched down near the town we were staying in. We didn't see it though as we were on a road trip.

 

As well as spending quality time with our family here in Canada and introducing Mable to her Canadian family, we have also been on some longer road trips and seen some amazing wildlife...I have finally seen a moose in real life (2 this trip). After 6 trips to Canada, I can finally tick that off my list.

 

We have seen a large number of black bear but no grizzly bears. My favourite so far were definitely the 3 very playful black bear clubs who were playing near their mother, just outside of Jasper. 

 

I can't wait to share some of this experience with you all when I return, which unfortunately will be a little later than planned due to catching COVID-19 and needing to be in isolation and rescheduling our flights. Thankfully, Mr Shuttleworth is happy to remain in the Acting Principal role until I return. Thank you Josh.

 

Enjoy the photos below and I will see you all soon.
