The adventures of teddy

My youngest is attached to a stuffed toy.  It's name is teddy. It was a gift from my  brothers in law parents when he was born. I have tried and tried to buy another one but like all things kids are attached too you they don't make them anymore! I tried to find a teddy replacement in case anything should ever happen to teddy, but nothing has ever come close. If I ever added up the hours looking for teddy before sleep time m sure it would add up to months not days. My mum introduced Ben 10 into the equation to lighten the load of teddy being loved too much but it just added to the problem and teddy had to always be joined with Ben 10, and then puppy at bed times. Ben 10 and puppy are not needed as much but teddy is still número uno. Teddy is a well travelled bear and has been to Croatia, Italy, France, uk and now the top end of Australia. He's getting on and has to be washed in a special bag. He has a few scars of where he has had to be stitched up. I notice that his presence is less and less. He can sit at the end of the bed or can be discarded on the floor, but he doesn't stray too far. I like having teddy around and hope that he will join our adventures in years to come. 
Look who's hiding in my bag

Love love love Quebec City

We arrived in Quebec City via train on New Year's Eve. We were happy to say goodbye to montreal. Despite our local being the Gaspar tarvern and the food sensational the city is largish and very cold. We knew that we would love Quebec City before we got here as it involved a train trip to reach our destination. We are big fans of train travel. You often leave the middle of the city and arrive in the middle of the city. Taxi rides from airports to the city I often find depressing as you usually don't drive through the nice part of town. The train trip was 3 hours long and you don't have to be there hours before. We were given priority boarding because of the children but we were also scolded for having the children push the large bags!  We arrived in the heart of Quebec City to snow. It fell lightly at first but gathered momentum at great speed. Our hotel in the old town was beautiful and apparently hosting a big party for New Years. We decided not to join them and dined at a...

We arrived at the very top end of the Northern Territory we arrived hot and tired but a cold drink as we sat and watched the water buffalo and wallabies around our clamping experience erased the pain of the journey. John our guide was an absolute pleasure. We ate well and enjoyed an air boat ride in search of crocodiles

Christmas in lake Louise

We have just spent a week in a winter wonderland. We arrived in banff on 20th December and stayed for 3 nights at banff springs fairmont hotel. I have a always been an economy air travel kind of girl and spend the money on the accommodation. Banff springs was like a castle in the snowy mountains. It was big, luxurious but intimate at the same time. Plenty of spaces to have a drink by the fire, enjoy a game of pool (which the kids loved) and a very sizeable gym. The service was outstanding. There were daytime movies (in a proper cinema with popcorn) and the most incredible thing was that the hotel welcomed pets! So it was not uncommon to see a puppy dog walking through the corridors of the hotel with its owners. Banff is known as a party town (ever since Harry Nina worked here it got it's reputation) it's a beautiful small town (about a 10 minute freezing walk from the hotel) it's about 4 blocks by 3 streets long and is just small enough to give it the cute tag. At banff spr...
