November 7th

 

3pm. The garden was put to bed officially this afternoon after a couple of hours of mucky mayhem, everything is now packed up & stored for the winter. Soon all this will be under a foot or two of snow.



November 6th

10pm: A typical evening, kids in bed, Nicky watching TV & me practising the guitar. Simple pleasures.

November 5th

 

8pm: Guy Fawkes goes up in flames much to the astonishment of the kids & if truth be told our neighbours Chuck & Wendy. I was determined to celebrate a British cultural event & although fireworks are banned & the fire had to be managed very carefully so as not to set the forest a few yards away at the end of our garden ablaze - I got the message home. Chuck & Wendy joined us for a bonfire night meal of Bangers & Mash, the kids had sparklers & for a while we were back in the old country.....



November 4th

 

3pm: On my way back along the TC to Canmore on a beautiful November afternoon, I stopped to capture the front range of the Rockies in all their Western movie glory! Yamnuska to the left, if i was mountain savvy I could name the other peaks - I am not & I can't.



November 3rd

 

12.25pm - Hmmm, a common theme in Vancouver - back to the hotel late after along day's work.



November 2nd

 

9am. Vancouver bound & on the runway at YYC yet again, how many flights this year  still more to come! Still a nice day for it.



November 1st

10pm Sad news today that Danny Baker has cancer, I often listen to his podcasts as I drive about or even do my XC ski laps at the Nordic Centre. He even read out an email I sent to him earlier this year. A very intelligent, one-of-a kind broadcaster, I wish him well in his battles ahead.
