Enjoying Life

Sorry for the hiatus! Things have been very busy and we are getting used to some changes in our life.

I have recently started a part-time job at Sanson Estate Winery and you can read more about that on My Local Food, my blog about trying to eat locally in Windsor and Essex County.

The other time-consuming thing has been preparing our house for the arrival of our foster dog, Jonathon. We are now blessed with two corgis that make our home a wonderful place to be. So from now on, the photos are sure to include Jonathon's tri-colours along with Leeloo's brindle coat.
