London, Ontario
London is in the province of Ontario, Canada. It is half-way around the world from Adelaide, so it is a very long way from home. Here is a picture of London (not London, England!!!) I think London looks a lot like Adelaide, what do you think, Mrs Cosh and year 2s? The summer is warm and humid, and in the winter it snows!

Our house
We lived on the grounds of Western University where my Dad worked. The place is called Platt's Lane Estate. We lived in a townhouse which was quite small. It has 2 bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs and a living room and kitchen downstairs. The best part of our house was that we had a basement which had a lot of room for storing stuff. Platt's Lane is very big and has beautiful gardens and two playgrounds.

Base Ball (T-ball)
I played on a T-ball team with Matheson. Matheson's dad Murray is the coach. Murray is a very encouraging coach! T-ball is a kid's version of baseball. Instead of someone pitching the ball to you, you hit the ball from a tee. Then, you run around the bases and field exactly the same as baseball. We played every Monday and Wednesday night. At the end of the season we all received trophies.My T-ball team (Matheson and I are in the back row)
A silly shot!

Daddy at Work
Daddy enjoyed his work at the University of Western Ontario. He worked very hard. He did a lot of research and gave presentations. He did a lecture to the whole University. I think that would be a very scary thing to do!

Forthcoming trips
I will write again about our trip to Niagara Falls and Toronto!
