Toilet roll?
It was like that when I got here...

Blob Bailey
We have been keeping our latest news to ourselves, until Sam had her dating scan, but can now reveal that we expect to welcome a new Bailey into the family at the end of Nov this year. Handsome little fellow isn't he/she!!

Yeehaa, it's rodeo time!
Last week was the Medicine Hat Spring Rodeo, so we went along to see what it was all about. There was bucking bronco riding, steer roping and bull riding - all of which looked quite painful (for the riders and the animals!). Horses and cattle are a way of life here, and this is the start of the competitive rodeo season which builds up to the Calgary Stampede in the summer.

weekend break in Vancouver
Vancouver in spring - looking west from False creek towards English Bay.
We have just spent a delightful long weekend in Vancouver, BC. It was a real treat to spend a few days away from the prairie, in a city where people drive normal sized cars instead of monster trucks, and where waiters dont look strangely at you when you ask for an espresso!
we spent 2 delightful days walking along the coast, taking in the city views with the breathtaking mountains as a backdrop. We also took the oppportunity to eat lots of seafood, and found a couple of good microbreweries serving decent ale, so we will certainly be back soon!!

More of Bran
Another weekend on duty, so we have not strayed far from home. We did, however, go and see Bran who is now 6 weeks old. We will be picking him up in a week's time, on our return from a weekend trip to Vancouver.

Calgary Tower
This is the famous Calgary tower. It has a restaurant at the top with fantastic views of the city spanning from the prairie to the Rockies. Quite a landscape!
It was quite scary to stand on the glass floor and look down to the road below.
We will definitely return to have dinner in the revolving restaurant at sunset.
