Now that the semester has finished we are getting back to being social again. This is the first time that Ross has taken on a full-time student load and it will definitely be his last, from now on part time only.
As you can see we had our first snow for the season on 6 December and it has snowed on and off since. The pond in the middle ground is now frozen over but not enough for skating yet.
We had about 12cm initially so clearing to ensure we can still access the Bar-B-Q was not a real problem.
This shot give a better indication of the depth and you can see Murphy having her first play in the snow for the season - she really seems to enjoy it and will stay out as long as we let her.
On the 8th of December we went out for a Christmas dinner at the historic site of Kings Landing about 40km from here in Fredericton. We had a three course meal with the main being a choice between turkey, prime rib roast and goose. Ross tried the goose because it was something not tried before and genuinely enjoyed it.
This shot is of Doug (our across the road neighbour) and Ross trying another local speciality - hot apple cider with spiced rum. A great way to start the night.
The entertainment was in keeping with the historic nature of the location and quite reminiscent of some of the folk nights held in the old pubs in the Rocks in Sydney. The musicians were highly competant and professional.
The venue holds around 120 people and is generally booked out - it is that popular. We had to book a month in advance but it was really worth it.
They also have a gift shop that sells festive decorations, so it seemed like an appropriate place to have a shot taken.
We will have another update before Christmas showing our visit to a small local dinner theatre with our great friends Jacqueline and John.

P.S. We have been in Canada exactly 1 year today.
