This year’s first real snowfall, meaning one that will stick around for a while, arrived October 2, 2011, so we decided to show you what an Arctic fall really looks like. This was filmed behind Inuksuk High School in Iqaluit.

Our trip to France with the Martins
Anjhela Michielsen and I welcomed good friends Murray and Gloria Martin to visit Europe in July, and we met them at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris, France. We drove across the country to Schaffhausen, Switzerland, briefly into Germany, and then back to the north to my homeland, Normandy. We visited Juno Beach and went… Continue Reading

Exploring Sylvia Grinnell Park near Iqaluit
(Note: now worth watching in 720p HD.) It was a beautiful day to go out for a wander in Sylvia Grinnell Territorial Park Labour Day. It’s funny to think it’s within walking distance from our house, but it’s easier to drive. Once you are at the park, you go over a hill and the city… Continue Reading

The love of my life, Anjhela, arrived Friday and I’m so happy to have her here. I was getting pretty lonely after my first full week in Iqaluit. We have a great apartment, which I cleaned all weekend and part of this week in preparation for her arrival. When she got off the plane, she… Continue Reading
Oxford: Relaxing in the Wadham College garden
Anjhela and I had a visitor today, Gloria’s brother Rick Martin. He was en route to South Africa and decided to come here during a 12 hour stopover at Heathrow airport. We took him around and had a great time. We went to The Mission Mexican grill and had burritos for lunch, and I had… Continue Reading
Summertown: I want to ride my bicycle
Anjhela got here Tuesday, so we’ve been busy all week setting up house in Summertown, at the north end of Oxford. We’ve been riding buses all over trying to find things, and walking 40 minutes each way from our flat to the city centre. Life was made somewhat simpler yesterday when some of our neighbours… Continue Reading
