A Week In Calgary

I’ve been in Calgary for a week now, but I haven’t done much because I got a cold almost as soon as I got here and I’ve been trying to get rid of it ever since. The first picture in this entry is a picture of the road I live on. I live five minutes ...

In Canada 2

I’m here in Canada at last! I’m actually in bed typing this on my phone at 6am because my body clock hasn’t quite adjusted yet. Canada is cold and wet. Anyone would think I was in England were it not for the fact that England was warm and dry when I left. I spent yesterday ...
