London!





Hi there!
I hope you are all enjoying your turkey this weekend! I have managed to get into London a few times and have found myself strolling by the Thames, taking in sights like Big Ben, Trafalgar Square, Buckingham Palace, Piccadilly Circus, The London Eye and visiting the Tate Modern Art Gallery and St. Paul's Cathedral. I even came across a gentleman creating an entire living room out of sand! Hope you enjoy the pics!

City Sights






Hi Everyone!
I wanted to post some photos I have taken over the last month in my new home of Canterbury! I have been taking in the different scenery and historic buildings, which is certainly a change from what I see in my neighbourhood back in Toronto! In the last few weeks I have been to a cricket match, meandered through local markets, saw an outdoor Shakespeare performance at Mt. Ephraim Gardens and finally went to an Evensong service in the breath-taking Canterbury Cathedral. An Evensong is an early evening service and it is mostly delivered in song. The Cathedral's Boys Choir is angelic. Listening to them as I admired the architecture, marveled at the incredible detail of the stained glass windows, decorated columns and carved stone statues was a wonderful way to compliment the Cathdedral's beauty.
School is going well and I am in the process of putting together an assembly about Canada with my class where we will teach the rest of the students at St. Peter's a little bit about Canada and Brown School! Enjoy your upcoming Thanksgiving weekend, I will miss eating turkey this year!
