Settling in

The weather has been beautiful this week, everyone here is saying this week has been better than some of the summer months. Last weekend was the end of summer, so we are now in Fall, we have been told there are some great places to visit to see the change of seasons with the changes in the colour of the leaves.

We have been successful in getting an apartment in the Byward Market area, we move in on the 29th September, Chris looked at a few, furnished ones are hard to come by so we snapped this one up.

Because of the good weather we have spent a few nights out during the week, on Friday night we went to a light show on Parliament Hill celebrating Canada 150, it was a spectacular light show, different to Vivd but none the less well done.

During the week visited MosaiCanada150 in Gatineau, it was a spectacular horticultural celebration celebrating the art of mosaiculture and a tribute to Canada's 150 years of history.

Canada's 10 provinces and 3 territories, as well as First Nations Québec and Labrador, united to present 33 masterful works over five historical sectors. The horticultural friendship uniting Canada with Shanghai and Beijing has also led to coloured works of art which will delight your eye.

The weekend was spent exploring Ottawa and the surrounding countryside, we ventured off to Perth Ontario, a change from Pert WA.

At Christmas we have planned on the Neal's going to Calibogie Resort for a skiing holiday so we checked it out, it will be interesting to see it in the winter.
