Although the school year in the UK is much more spread out than the Canadian school year (we started 1 September and will proceed until 21 July) there are a few more extended holidays in the school year, giving Jack and I the opportunity to explore other countries nearby.

London: Natural History Museum
London has a plethora of free museums, and most of them take more than a day to explore. The Natural History Museum is one such place.
London: Baker Street, Hyde Park and Science Museum
Contrary to some people’s popular opinion, the Oxford comma is not taught in English schools. Not at ours, anyway. The debate rages on, just like the rain that pelted down one Saturday afternoon as we explored London on our own.

I restrained myself though and we went on out of Gastown into the surrounding streets. But before I go on, a picture of one shopkeeper’s explanation for his…
Vancouver: Gastown
The keynote speaker at the Pro-D conference I was at on the past Friday was a blogger who had some tips for aspiring bloggers. Well, hello to you too, prime learning experience. One of the pieces of advice she gave was to blog about the place you lived in. And if it don’t beat all,…
