Carrick to Calgary

Our visitors have returned home once again to the Great Wee Place, and Spring has sprung in their wake. The -20 temperatures and snow which welcomed them to Calgary have now been transformed into a gentle early spring, with the snow disappearing fast, blue skies and warm winds. It was +24 on Thursday and it even rained a little on Friday - the first we've had in the last 3 or 4 months! Soon we'll be out in the Rockies for some summer hiking...

While they were here, the Robbos took over 300 photos and we managed to get them to do a blog for us, as all our visitors have done so far. There were lots of extra photos which didn't make it into the blog, however, so here are the best of the them - 'Calgary - Uncut'!
