Another overdue blog and another week of being without a laptop for 5 days due to yet another unfortunate accident! Lets hope this is not going to become a weekly event!
Otherwise its been a pretty chilled week. We all enjoyed Leighs time off the Prairie; most of which was hot and sunny. We spent quite alot of time at the outdoor pool in Medicine Hat and at Echodale with bucket & spades (not sure what the children were playing with!) and made the most of the last week of the school summer holidays.
Then towards the end of last week the weather changed.... it went from a pleasant sunny 28 degrees to a cold and wet 5 degrees. The rain has now stopped but it is still chilly and there has even been snow in Canmore - news enough to wipe the smiles off our faces and send us all running indoors searching for our long forgotten winter gear! Indeed having learnt lessons from last winter, I have already ordered a Russian style fur trapper hat, complete with ear flaps! Nice! All I need to do now is to try not think about the rabbit I will be wearing on my head - especially as I pass the very cute family of rabbits that live under our shed all year round! I will get the same for all of us and in a couple of months time we shall look like some bizarre family out of Dr Zhivago!
Ben & Olivia are back at school now and Charlie starts at Little Gophers (pre-school) next week. After such a long summer break the children were surprisingly keen to go back to school yesterday - needless to say, for Ben, the novelty has already worn off!

Will you be blaming your tardiness in updating your blog on Microsoft and laptop issues again?
Dear Little Tingeys on the Prairie
At The Herald (The Voice of Plymouth) we are constantly reviewing our competitors and have noticed that one of them, the Downland Village Magazine, has secured a column entitled “Little House on the Prairie”, an account (updated almost daily) of the trials, tribulations and hardships of living on the wild prairie of Canada.
Not wishing to be out-done by what is essentially a two bit “red top” (if only it could be printed in colour) we were wondering if we might secure your services, and principally your blog, for our paper?
Yours in anticipation
The Herald (The Voice of Plymouth )
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! Very witty. :-)
