So, it’s been a very long time not just since we’ve updated this blog, but since we’ve also updated our photos. Lots of stuff has happened since our last catch up: Lisa and Isla are back in Toronto; I’m still here in London (although going back next weekend for a few days); I’m moving back on 17 May and starting work there 1 June, and more…
I’ve just had a lovely weekend here in London with sunshine and 20 degree weather. I spent most of it in the parks and playing tourist on the South Bank, but in chunks, I’ve managed to finally finish grouping, editing and posting all our photos from the last while.
Rather than write a whole story about each, I’ll just list all the albums below maybe with a quick description, and the direct link to the album. Most are also accessible on Facebook, as this post will no doubt be shortly…
Final weeks in London
A couple of weeks before moving home, Lisa and Isla went out with one of their friends to Blenheim Palace.
The week before the move home, our close friends Tracy and Louise Baskin celebrated their 40th birthday by hosting a really cool party at The Crypt.
The next day we had our farewell party at The Windsor Castle
Over the course of our final few weeks in London, we spent quite a bit of time playing tourist and wandering around town. We also took a lot of fun photos around the house as we were packing up and getting organised. Here are some of our favourite shots from those final weeks.
First week in Toronto
The day after we arrived back in Toronto was Matthew Guzy’s 1st Birthday party.
The day after that – our second in Canada – we hosted a Welcome Home and Meet Isla tea party. We made three times as many scones as necessary (and somehow we never managed to take any photos of them) but it was a lot of fun and great to see so many old friends again.
During the rest of our first week back in Toronto, lots of other stuff was going on, with lots of family in town and many events and get-togethers. Here are some other photos from that first week back.
Last weekend was my first on my own here in London and I played tourist by going to to which I hadn’t ever been before.
And Finally…
I know it’s a bit out of seuqnce, but over the almost five years in London, we managed to get around the town quite a bit and see some amazing things. We also got to do a lot of travelling, evidence of which can be found on our Travel Photos Site.
However, we also managed to take quite a few really cool pictures in London proper, so, as a final album for now, we’d like to share some of our favourite photos from London-town itself.
Anyway, that’s it for now, hope fully we’ll be able to keep you all up to date more frequently with how we’re settling into life back in Canada. But in the meantime, hope you enjoy all the albums above.
We’ll write again soon.
L, J & I
