Last night we went into the city to celebrate Sarah’s birthday. Before heading over to Superstar KTV for karaoke, everyone met up at Hopyard for drinks and a bite to eat.

Just the other day, the sun came out for the first time in what feels like weeks. I was standing in the kitchen, looking around, trying to figure out what seemed different. And I realized that I had forgot what the house looked like when the sun shines through the windows.

We rang in the new year with a low key evening at home. We enjoyed some gorgeous oysters from Prince Edward Island. As well as some less glamorous mozzarella sticks and French fries.

Last Friday night we hosted our first dinner party with a 100% Windsor (and Falmouth) guest list! I’m feeling very lucky to have met such a wonderful group of people since we moved here in May.

We had a lovely and relaxing Christmas, our first in our house here in Windsor. We didn’t leave the house all day, other than for a walk with Mersey. It was incredibly cozy.

It’s been really wonderful watching the leaves change colours here in Windsor. There are so many more trees to admire than there were in our old neighbourhood! And I think Mersey has been appreciating the crisp air, I imagine it is quite a relief from the summer scorch, with his thick blonde coat.

I spent the majority of my university years in the West End; a fabulous year Downtown; a wonderful year and a half at mine and Michael’s first apartment in the North End, a brief stint in the South End, and most recently at our first house in Spryfield.
