The chill of the outdoors has sent me into a bit of a lazy state with the blog. That and the fact that these days its too cold to stop and take photos around town, one just needs to keep moving! When comparing the difference between Canada & England one thing that came to mind is snow. Yes, Canada gets snow, however the difference is how the two countries deal with the snow.

Its laughable here how the country shuts down when its snows, panic ensues, and no one can deal! I understand that the country may not have snow like we do at home, and do not have the equipment to deal with the snow like we do, but its a bit absurd at times. I think we need a Canadian consultant to aid the Brits when the snow starts to fall.

Last weekend I went to the Christmas Market in Birmingham. A tradition started in Germany, its something that happens in England during the four weeks of Advent. We went at night, so it was a fantastic way to end the day. Lebkuchen- kinda like gingerbread (see the image of the cookies), chocolate covered marshmellows and of course mulled wine were the treats that evening. A nice way to get into the Christmas spirit...
