The Canadian family






























We probably dashed away east from Vancouver without sufficiently acknowledging or blogging our Vancouver family - indeed an expanding family - first Tessa's neice Rachelle and her new partner Sheldon and his two children, Emma and Bremyn (sorry that's almost certainly misspelt). In Maple Ridge, just outside Vancouver proper, we stayed with Tessa's nephew Andre, wife Nicole and their two children who we met for the first time, two year old Daniel and the very new arrival, two week old Madeleine. Good of them to spare us so much time when they were barely getting any time to sleep!
And we are ending our trip with Tessa's sister Sue and husband Paul here in Baie D'Urfe in Montreal where the weather may be a little cool but the food is great and the hospitality is warm!

That's a great round-up of all the folks who've been looking after you so well in Canada. Nice montage!

Hang on... is that an allotment I see in the background? Tessa just couldn't keep away, eh? :)

yup its the garden of Nicole and Rachelle - what they call an allotment and run on very much the same lines as the Old Chesterton in Cambridge! That's Sheldon wielding the spade, we all had a go clearning some weeds and Sheldon had brought a cool box with beer with him - now that's good thinking!
