More Snowfall!

I'm sorry - I know I keep on putting up pictures of boring snow... but it snowed again! And it's meant to be Spring! And it's the heaviest snow we've seen since we've been here! We had a blizzard on Monday and Tues, and it's still settled on the ground - there's more on the balcony than when we arrived 5 weeks ago.

Snowy Scenery

Here are the promised photos of a snowy Whitecourt and surrounds. The view from our window of the trailer park is incrementally more beautiful when covered in snow... leaving us perpetually disappointed when it thaws!

Our new bedroom

We decided that although we have very little money to live on until some comes in, we need our living space to be beayuuutiful, so here are the pictures of the main bedroom - I hope you like!

P.S. Has been snowing, quite hard. Will put up some photos tomorrow.

Final Destination: Whitecourt

We arrived in Whitecourt on Easter Monday, and were welcomed with love by the other South African medical couples. The apartment (condo!) that we are renting from our friends is lovely and had been stocked with rusks, fresh food, a freezer full of meat and frozen meals, flowers and chocolates. As a settling in present it snowed, covering the ground and our newly borrowed Ford 4x4 truck with white powder.

The last few days have been taken up with setting up bank accounts, cell phone (mobiles) contracts, land line phone, internet, movie contract and everything else that modern daily living requires. Tomorrow we are going into Edmonton where Craig has his appointment with the College of Medicine, and we will also stop past IKEA (wonderful place!) to find new furnishings for our new home.

Our new condo:

Snow on our first night - borrowed truck, left hand drive: poor Craigy!
