Hibernation

If you've been wondering what we've been up to, there's been a bit of hibernation. The Ottawa winter, since our last post, was loooooonnnnnngggg....

With frozen waterfalls...

The longest skating rink in the world - the canal at the bottom of our street

But although there were still snow banks in some shadows last month we've had a blink-and-you've-missed-it spring, and suddenly summer is here. The farmers market is open and everyone's out on their decks firing up the BBQ. Hibernation's over.

PS I'll have to report our hibernation-breaks to New York, Sudan and the Emirates in another post.
