So it finally snowed in England! We got a few milimetres on Christmas Day in Scotland, but other than 2-3 morning frosts to scrape off the car, we have been in perpetual, rainy autumn in the East Midlands. We're both actually missing winter quite a lot - especially things like walking Digby in his favourite season, to skiing in Quebec, to skating on the canal. Our next three trips planned (Copenhagen in Denmark, Oslo in Norway, and Zurich/Lucerne in Switzerland) should help to give us at least a taste of winter. But we got a little bit here last night and today. Everybody was out building snowmen, having snowball fights - it was great!

We built a royal snowman (you can't really see her tiara very well here, but it was super impressive, trust me). I was looking forward to seeing how long she lasted (going to be above temperature this week). Unfortunately she was assassinated shortly afterwards by a bunch of little pre-teen jerks. I'm more upset that they knocked down the little girl's snowman next door, but anyways....

We then decided to take a walk around campus. It's been so warm lately that all of the spring flowers and trees have been blooming, which made everything extra weird and beautiful. I guess unfortunately it'll be a bit of a barren spring if everything has already bloomed. I wonder what this means for the Ottawa tulip festival, and our spring trip to the Netherlands?

Here are a few random recent pictures that I wanted to share!

| This is the most sun I see some days - good thing the sunrises are usually beautiful! |

| We ordered fish and chips and mushy peas, they forgot the condiments - Justin was trying to find a substitute (don't worry, we found the 'not for human consumption' label! |
That's it for us for now - I'm off Friday and we're heading to Copenhagen! Update soon with plenty of pictures of mermaids and pretty houses!

That's too funny about the lack of condiments. We had to point out that a friend's dog's glucosomine was probably not necessarily safe for human consumption this weekend. But who knows.
