Oh the weather outside is frightful............................

That's it! Winter is here! Well I guess we can't complain, it has been a very long Summer/Autumn.

This time five years ago, we landed in Canada, had to sit for hours in immigration feeling like second class citizens and wishing we were back in blighty. Then we spent ages picking up our luggage, our hire car and navigated without any sat nav to our temporary home for four weeks where we had a lovely warm welcome from our hosts.

So.....today. We were woken during the night by coyotes AGAIN whooop whoop whooooping and then by the winds which were 44kmph. We got up and sat and watched the new 'The Grand Tour' with the boys whilst eating breakfast. The weather was horrible outside and I needed to get to the Mall to pick up some gogo's a woman was selling on kijiji. Huffle and I decided to go and we left the boys at home. The mall is about 35 minutes away so we picked up the go-go's, had a quick peruse, bought some choccies for Christmas from the new Lindt shop and came home. We had given the boys a chore each to do while we were gone and asked them to get changed for when we got back. As we pulled into the drive, Small ran upstairs and got changed, the lazy naughty boy!

That grass is normally straight but today it was horizontal

That's a big chocolate Huffle!

We all went out for dinner, picked up a few essentials from the supermarket and came home where we made the Christmas Cake. The fruit has been marinating in brandy and orange for a week. Huffle, using his mathematic skills and Smallest's ruler (very important) to carefully line the tin. That went into the oven while we made a toffee sauce and popped some popcorn for our yearly viewing of The Toronto Santa Parade. Four years ago we went into Toronto to watch the Parade but ever since then we have watched it on TV with our own popcorn and warming drinks in a lovely warm house (brrrrrrrr it would have been cold there today). However today we couldn't get the full coverage so we finished watching Top Gear (I know it's not called that but it is that really). We also watched I'm a Celebrity and part of a film. (Ghostbusters).
