About Me

My photo
Vancouver, Canada
Originally from a small seaside town in the North of England, I lived and worked in France, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland and the Maldive Islands before moving to Canada in 1995 - where I intended to stay 'just a couple of years'. Well, I'm still here. I live with my fabulous (Canadian) husband, Lorne, in Vancouver's Westside, close to beaches & downtown. We opted for kitties over kids and are proud parents to 3 wonderful rescues; Mel & Louis, who we adopted in 2010, and little miss Ella, who joined us in 2013. I miss my family in the UK but luckily my sister and best friend, Victoria, lives just down the street with her family. I remain very European at heart and would love to move back there, even for a while. Hopefully I'll convince Lorne & the kitties one day. Besides, I'm fluent in French & German but rarely get chance to use either here. Outside of work I love photography, writing, making cards, working out, camping, kayaking, horse riding & most things really. I've always been an animal lover, support several animal protection organizations and haven't eaten meat in 27 years.
Words To Live By:

Random Photo Friday: Zombie Firefighter and Princess

While the photos aren't quite so 'random', seeing as Halloween was just yesterday, I had to post these pics of my adorable nephew, River and niece, Bronwyn - the zombie firefighter and princess. I stopped by on my way home last night to drop them off some spooky treats and to see their costumes before Vicky and Mike took them trick or treating.

Unfortunately my Iphone doesn't quite do them justice but they still look pretty ghoulish if not strangely lovable all at the same time.

Zombie fire-fighter to the....rescue?

Zombie Princess excited to
"scare all the little kids", apparently.
Note the scissors 'stabbed' into Bronwyn's hip? We brought her back a Spoonman scissor headgear thingy from our last trip to Portland in July, although (always thinking a little differently) Bronwyn preferred to stick it at her hip, which worked frighteningly well too. I also like how the flash gives her devious eyes that extra-spooky glow.
