As you may have gathered I am winding the blog down now! Whilst the last 4 weeks have been hectic, they have also been rather boring too with only a few exceptions; namely Charlie's 4th birthday and a couple of leaving do's! The rest of the time has been spent packing and organising our trip back to the UK.
Of course, the good old Canadian weather is always a topic of conversation and we have had all four seasons during this last month! Everything from hot sunny days, to thunder, lightning, high winds, hail and of course, snow! At least the village is looking nice and green now - good prep for the UK!
Charlie had a lovely 4th birthday; he had about eight of his friends over from his pre-school, Little Gophers, for a party. The sun shone that day (thank goodness!) and so they were able to play in the garden for most of it! Olivia was very keen to help out and was busy bossing all the little ones around. It was all far too uncool for Ben though who managed to disappear for the duration!
Leigh is in to the last few days of his hand over now and I am packing the last few boxes. The children finish school on Friday, Leigh finishes on Saturday (followed by a 'few' drinks in the mess!) and then we leave the village on Sunday. We are flying up to Calgary, overnighting there and then flying to New York for a couple of days. A great way to finish our North American posting!
Leigh took these photos of the village during a helicopter flight over the Prairie training area; you can get a fair idea of just how remote we are here! I look forward to posting my final blog from New York, New York!
