The weather - always a topic for conversation. Back in the UK and France we know that winter has well and truly arrived with tons of snow and icy weather conditions - here in Canada we have had one, yep just one snowfall which lasted all evening, enough to build a snowman but which melted overnight and we've not even had a flurry since. Apparently this is the norm for the island as it is very sheltered here - mind you, what we don't get in snowfall we certainly get in rain downpours! November was especially wet and January is proving to be equally damp with high winds and buckets and buckets of liquid sunshine!
Not ones to grumble (well, not often!), we have made the most of the enforced "imprisonment" and we have used the indoor time to catch up with paperwork, letter writing (yes, we still do that!), organising our computer and photographs and trying out some new recipes. So, during the daytime we have occupied ourselves admirably - not forgetting our regular volunteer sessions at the local SPCA which have taken a manic turn since the arrival of eleven 7-8 week old puppies!!!!
