Ely Cathedral

Well its being a while since my last post yet again but there was nothing really that new to write about. Now that Megan and I are back in England I am going to try and update the blog once or twice a week at least over the next few months. Are plans are to look for jobs this week and then take a trip over to Sicily and Malta in the middle of March. Following that we have no idea. We do have a few people coming to visit us which we are looking forward to. Ryan Chin is coming over to join us on our trip in March, Mike and Andrea are going to stay with us for a few days before their Contiki tour starts and Kelly and Shelly are planning on stopping in with us for a while before they head off to Greece. Having them over will be a lot of fun and nice to have some familiar faces around.

Since we are going to be working for the next month or two we will be doing a lot of day trips around England to castles, manor houses, churches, etc... Today was our first "outing" if you will since we have been back in England. We drove north for about and hour until we got to the small town of Ely. When you are about 10min away all you can see is this monstrous cathedral sticking out of the centre of this small town. We parked the car (for free which is rare in England) and walked up the high street to get to the cathedral. Inside it is absolutely stunning. The work on this cathedral started in the 11th century and it has undergone many renovations over the last few centuries. Check out the photos below and let me know what you think.

Somethings Never Change

Well we have been back in Canada now for a few weeks and things have already fallen into the same old routines. Not that this is bad in anyway or anything. It seems as though the days are just flying by as there is always something to do or somebody to go and see. I live a less stressful life over in England with just work and travel in my life.

Being back in Milton has been great though. Christmas with my family was a blast and New Years at Will's house in Milton was a good time. It was great to see everyone together again. Curt was back for a few weeks from Germany and Dave just got back from his trip in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. It was great to hear some of their stories from abroad.

Besides some snowboarding, a few poker games, and of course some nights down at brydans (the local bar)we haven't done too much. Just spent time with family and friends, which is why we came back. For all of you that I haven't seen yet email me or give me a call and hopefully we can arrange a time. See you all soon.
