Home!

Yes I'm back home safe and sound after living in Canada and my travels around the USA. To be honest my feelings about being back are mixed. After contemplating this with Ian, and e-mailing Liz who is still in Vancouver, we decided that Vancouver was only the stage, and a very beautiful one at that. However, it was the people who make the play, and so before I start posting about the cities, stories and creepy old people that I shared hostels with on my travels, I'd like to say a quick hello to the people I have sadly left behind.


Those sweeties at Worksafe threw Daniela and myself a surprise leaving do. I was certainly suprised. I had three days left to work. I waer my t-shirt with pride. Nobody in London has a clue where it's from.


They gave us a wonderful photo album, full of photos of our adventures with work and signed by all the department. This was so wonderful. It is certainly my favourite souvenier from Canada. It's full of people I admire and respect saying nice things about me. Who wouldn't?

The other great thing bout worksafe is at every opportunity they tried to feed me. As you can see, being away from home for so long, I had all but wasted away, but those plucky heros t EDS kept me going. I had to. There were binders to be built!

For those of you not familiar with the Uber one, here his Laura looking lovely in the early evening sun at Bridges on Granville Island. This was my official leaving do! Although there are only photos of about 5 people, I can assure you there were at least 6, including Lisa and her husband and Christine, my manager. Natasha and Deanna, were never in doubt, but some of the fellow Bunacers turned up in suits. I would have expected no less.

Daniela and Simon doing that great party trick of whipping off your underwear with your clothes still on. Not really. Deanna, kindly bought Daniela, Simon, me and laura sone Canada underwear. And Yes Deanna it DOES glow in the dark.


Good luck in South Africa Daniela. Good luck in Langley Deanna.


Watch of updates about the trip. Next post will be Seattle, the land that air conditioning forgot.
