Oh yes lots of snow the boys loved it, my eldest was also shocked how French It is 🤣
We went out of the city to a cabin on a lake, it’s was frozen and everyone walking and skating on it, the neighbours all sat out on the ice on chairs in the sun drinking wine and even brought out a fire pit! It was pretty magical.
My husband is now saying it’s quite warm as it’s been -3 for the past few days, but it’s due to be back down to -22 on Sunday and snow next week, still another 2 months of winter really!
I wish I was younger, I did skate a lot when I was a teenager (on plastic rink in Jersey where I lived) so I would have loved Canadian winter, now I’m too old and creaky, dodgy hips and knees, I hate it when it’s really icy, my DH fell over this week on ice, luckily he’s ok but broken bones are apparently the most common thing in ER in the winter!
Sunny day here in London, it’s lovely, although it’s really cold in Montreal there are lots of really bright sunny days, so I’ve found the grey here quite depressing.
Hope you are all feeling ok about your DC experience at UEA, I’m feeling a bit sad for my DS1 and the experience he’s had at AUB he’s just missed out so much, being a hands on practical course he just couldn’t do it at home, he’s really only had 1.5 years of proper degree work rather than 3, and it really shows, he’s not really got much work to show for it.
Luckily he’s really wanting to get out and work and is prepared to do anything to get into the type of work he wants, but being older (he’s 25) he does wonder if his degree was worth it.
