Change ringing bells of tower in Braunston, England

I am enjoying my return visit to Canada, with fond memories of learning to ring bells in Braunston. Such a different tradition than most in Canada!

Nicole and I enjoyed time in Whistler, BC, though there was not enough snow for safe skiing. We trekked around, walking over the lake ice, which I hadn’t done for some time. Then back to Gibsons where Nicole lives, and I also stay when in Canada.

Then, travel to Alberta for family Christmas. Wonderful holiday with three of my sisters and my parents, then back to Edmonton to visit friends there. Experienced my first Alberta blizzard in a long time, and this somewhat restricted my travel plans. It has rained, iced stormed, and blizzarded since I got to Alberta so the ‘if you don’t like the weather, wait a moment’ is really valid here.

I’ll return to Vancouver and spend New Year’s with Nicole, then to Ottawa and another sister and family visit, and then back to Britain and my newly painted boat.

Happy New Year wishes to all my blog friends. Please leave a comment if you will, so that I can keep in touch! Take care.
