Just a quick note to let you know that we are in the surreal land of transition. We are still celebrating the year and a half that we lived as Europeans. At the same time we are embracing being back in Canada. Feels weird to have one foot in each country, but like an ear infection blasted by antibiotics our sense of balance is returning.

Callum is now six and thrilled to see his friends, grandparents and the ocean. He had a great time visiting relatives in the U.K., particularly his new cousin. Colin is working at his new job as Project Manager and will be in California later in July to meet his team. He is still speaking French with flair. I am determined to get fit, be creative and go through every single box we have packed and let go of stuff we don't need. I intend to enjoy my last summer with Callum and am heading out to the Winnipeg Folk Festival and Kelly's cabin near Kenora for two weeks, then camping with friends and their kids and reveling with gusto in what the west coast has to offer.

Our new address is #56 - 1708 Newton Street Victoria, B.C. Canada V8R 2R2 and we can be reached at (250) 590-0355. I am posting pictures on FACEBOOK so that you will drool and come and visit.

Hope you're healthy and laughing.

With joy, Ramona
