Although it's been awhile since I've lived there, I'm proud to be Canadian! Living in London makes me appreciate the space of my homeland like never before. So Happy Canada Day to all my fellow Canadians 'back home' and beyond.This Canada Day is particularly special thanks to Lynn over at Place to Create, who has mentioned me on her Great Reads by Canadians post! I'm so honoured and thrilled to be in such great company. Thanks, Lynn.
And now I'm off for my annual dosage of maple syrup, poutine and tortiere...
Happy Canada Day to you! I'd LOVE to be a Canadian living in London...but right now, I'll settle for British Columbia...
ReplyDeleteI didn't even know Canada had a Canada day but I hope you have a lovely one!

Happy Canada Day, when I was a child we were supposed to emigrate there but didnt, I often wonder about it now, what if?
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your maple syrup and other things I dont know what they are.
Happy Canada Day!!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Canada Day, Talli! Ever since I saw 'O Canada' in the Canadian pavilion at Epcot I've really wanted to visit! Despite the Disney-ness, it's a great advertisement for your country! ;-)
ReplyDeleteLoving having the day off today - golfing complete, pancake breakfast eaten and looking forward to fireworks tonight :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Canada Day!
"O Canada..."
ReplyDeleteHappy Canada Day to you. x
Thanks everyone!
ReplyDeleteElspeth - Maybe some day! You must come visit.
Carol - For shame! :)
Brigid - Poutine is chips with cheese curds and gravy. Sounds disgusting, I know, but it's so yum. Tortiere is like shepherd's pie, sort of.
Catherine - I agree! Love the Canada pavillion at Epcot.
Happy Canada Day, I really hope to visit Canada one day.
ReplyDeleteI don't know why, but I have such a soft spot in my heart for Canadians. Actually, now that I think about it, it's probably because my BFF was born there and my England relatives are always considering moving there since they can't move to the states.
ReplyDeleteRaising my coffee cup in a toast to Canada ... Cheers :)
ReplyDeleteYour welcome Talli! Enjoy your maple syrup. But are you pouring it on your poutine and tortiere? That would be an interesting combination....!

ReplyDeleteHappy Canada Day! It must be so strange to have two homes so far from each other. I feel like that just by coming from one state and living in another.

ReplyDeleteStraight From Hel
My ancestors are French Canadian: last name=Dionne. So there you have it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting on my blog. Jen says yes, Green is the greatest. And glad you read Patricia Stoltey's list. It WAS hilarious, and helpful I thought.
ReplyDeleteCanada Day. I've never been to Canada, though would love to go there, somewhere east or west. My only "memory" of it comes from Mrs. Mike, a book I read in the Fifties about Mary Katherine Flanagan who married a Canadian Mounty and followed him to Canada at a time when it was far from civilization and very cold. Did you ever read it? It's wonderful.
Happy Canada Day, Talli!
ReplyDeleteHappy Canada Day--love Poutine and grew up in Canada.. yummy food!
ReplyDeletethx and back atcha, talli :)
ReplyDeletecheck out my post/rant? ;) lol
Happy belated Canada Day to you too!
ReplyDeleteSpace.... I don't believe they have any of that in London.....?
Have a nice day, Boonsong
I dibdn't know there was such a thing but happy Canada Day to you too!
ReplyDeleteCanadians always seem like very calm, thoughtful people. They're also funny and stylish. I could go on . . . You guys are cool! What's with the "aboot" thing though?
ReplyDeleteHope you had a great Canada Day!! I actually had poutine yesterday... It's my ultimate comfort food. (And typing the word 'poutine' just now made me crave it again!)
ReplyDeleteTake care! :)
Do you have a British accent? :)
