Easter & Beyond

This is actually the end of this blog but seeing as it is happening now I have just included the 2 photos below. As we were about to publish this update and head into town for a bit of shopping, it started to snow out of nowhere, today is forecast to be 11C and we were planning to work in the yard after coming home. If you click on the shots and enlarge them it is far more obvious - I will never again make a comment about Melbourne's changeable weather.

Hello again and we know that Easter has come and gone but we just wanted to let you all know that we were thinking of you over this period.

We started our Easter by attending the French Catholic Church in Fredericton which you can see below.

New Brunswick is the only Province in Canada which is legislated as a bilinguil Province and this church forms part of a large French School in Fredericton. We found the Church serene and very peaceful as we thought of our many much loved family and friends.

Later that day Debbie and George our lovely friends joined us for an Eater Friday supper which included sushi, crab cakes, lobster tails, salad and for dessert fresh fruit skewers with a passionfruit sauce. We had a lovely day as we hope you did also.

Easter Sunday provided a bright sunny day so we went to Ormocto a town about a 20 minute drive from where we live and sat and enjoyed a picnic lunch and the lovely weather and the pleasant surroundings. Murphy had a great day as she got to explore the surroundings and gave the accasional energentic bark as a another dog came unto her sight. She slept very well that night.

The picnic areas are all in good condition and are well used by the locals as soon as the sunny weather starts to appear.

Next Wednesday Ross sits for his final exam for this semester and on 23 April we are off to the USA for a holiday. We are travelling through New England to Gettysberg VA, then down to Myrtle Beach SC, then to Savanah GA, Memphis and Nashville TN, then make our way home on an as yet undetermined route but will try and catch up with Scott Wright in Wisconsin on the way.

Toni, Ross's sister will becoming for a visit about mid May and we are so looking forward to seeing her.

In preparation for our trip Murphy went to Rachael her groomer so she is ready for the trip. The photo below is taken on the back deck and Murphy has just returned home with her short back and sides.

We will have lots to show and tell after our US trip so until our next update stay happy, safe and well.

Love Bev, Ross and Murphy
