londontown

Here I am in London, it's 3:00pm and I'm on Morgan's cozy couch with hot chocolate (... found it in the cupboard! it was asking to be used!) and watching Terminator! There are so many things I could be seeing and doing but my feet just aren't working. The past few days I have filled them with walking and sightseeing. Today, I just can't. I am saving my energy for a pretty party of the grandest kind! Nicole and Tegan are coming over for a slumber party which will be VERY exciting!! I have a feeling there will be lots of laughs, pretty smiles and lots of love!
Tomorrow will be a busy day full of fun things!! I will update when I can!
Lots of love from London!!

Hello from sunny Bristol!

Again it is a spring day (ok... it feels like it) here in Bristol! Beautiful, sunny and not too chilly! I can't remember what my post was about last time... something tells me it could have been angry. I can't view my actual blog because I am at the library and they have a internet block on websites with profanity... Coombs! I'm shocked.
It is safe to say there have been an arrange of emotions in my life the past six months. Yes folks it's been six months since I have arrived here! Sometimes it feels like longer, other times it seems like I just greeted Brenna at the bus stop in June.
Christmas is in full swing here in Bristol! Lots of little markets, amazing smells coming from the city centre, hot doughnuts being the one that follows me around! We don't have much snow like everyone else but we had a little bit earlier in the week. It looks so pretty here and odd! The ground is still so green here not brown like home! I must say I have been feeling pretty homesick since Christmas Daddies last weekend. I'm dealing though.
Last night I went to see Johnny Flynn with Hilary!! Amazing! If you don't know him you should!
I'm going to rent some movies from the library tonight and hope the sun continues for the next couple of days so I can enjoy it then.
Hope you are well and that you are getting excited for the Christmas season!

Merry Christmas Daddies!!

This is the 2nd time I have missed the Cape Breton Christmas Daddies Telethon. I'm watching it online which I am thrilled about! I'm also glad that Hilary decided to go to Glastonbury today cause I have bursted into tears at the sight of familiar faces... I'm homesick.
What do I miss about not being there:
-The music & musicians
-My lovely friends and family. Some people I see once a year and it is always wonderful to see them!
-Endless supply of egg nog and we don't drink it all during the say which means I leave with arms filled of my favorite beverage.
-The after party.
-Watching my aunt Mary Christmas Murphy jump up and down with happiness at how wonderful and giving the Cape Bretoners have been.
-The best part, watching Papa tear up when he sees the final total and feeling proud of his daughter Mary who changes people's lives.

I don't think I am made for this distance between myself and the people I love so dearly.

I hope you are all having a wonderful day! Do something fun!!
