Sunday 11. 01. 09 It has been a great visit despite the wintery weather. I think I have seen most of my friends and have also had time to spend with the family. I managed to visit many of my old haunts including the Patrician Grill. I housesat Veronica and Arthur’s house in Rosedale with their cat Foxy in great comfort and for the rest of the time I stayed with Jason, Alisa and Poppy. Christmas dinner was at Rosedale with family and New Year’s with friends at Jon and Barbara’s. I go back to France tomorrow to milder weather brimming with new ideas for paintings and prints. Thanks to everyone for their friendship and their hospitality and best wishes for 2009.
