Brampton (near Toronto), Ontario, Sept 29 to Oct 9

Great to hang out seeing family and friends here. Spencer,  Martin’s nephew, had his 10th birthday. Martin's Mum and Dad had flown over too. And while Martin reunited with his high school buddies at his friend’s cottage near Huntsville, I went to Peterborough to see Kelowna friends, Aaron and Katherine, who moved here about a year ago. Fantastic to catch up and hang out with them and the kids. Being on the road after what feels like a long time, it felt nice and fuzzy to do normal stuff like the farmers’ market, Sunday brunch or the zoo ...including dressing up in wigs to family and friends' places!

The big 4 - 0 for Martin fast approached and back at Martin's  sister's his birthday meal of choice was delicious roast turkey which his mum had cooked. Together with his family and their friends Jim and Cheryl, crazy games ensued. 

Over the next few days we hung out at Lorraine’s, as well as caught up with a few old friends: Kevin (and his girlfriend, Fiona) who we’d met in China back in 2005, and  Andrew Parker who Martin traveled with in 2001/02.

By the end of the week we headed over to Peterborough: Martin hadn’t seen Aaron and Katherine yet. For me, it was great to see them all again so soon. We celebrated Martin’s birthday with Sushi - which we hadn’t had since we’d left Kelowna. It seems waaaay longer, but five weeks is definitely a long time to go without Sushi for us!  *Mush
