So Team Ted has been enjoying the off-season for the past few weeks since settling back in Toronto, but have decided it's now time to get into some pre-season training. Off-season antics include: - Moving into our lovely wee attic flat in quaint Cabbagetown. Yes, that really is the name of our area. And we love it here! Our flat is tiny (although palatial when compared to our London digs) but it is at the top of a gorgeous 3-storey Victorian brick house, with our adorable landlady living below in the rest of the house. We have access to the lovely garden and with the sensational weather we've been having we have been taking full advantage of the BBQ. - Speaking of the weather (yes, we are truly English now with our obsession with the weather) ... read more

the day started early with a 7am bags to coash as it was a very long drive to toronto, ontario. i slept for the first 2 or so hours of the trip before our first stop at a servo/maccas. we then drove for another probably hour and abit where justin put on the movie Youngblood starring a very young rob lowe, patrick swayze and keanu reeves doing a terrible french canadian accent. it was a hockey movie and i fell asleep in the first half. our second stop for the day was at rockport, ontario to do our 1hr '1000 islands boat cruise'. it was pretty overcast but we still got some good pics of all the houses of the little islands and of Boldt Castle. After the cruise we drove for probably just over and ... read more

Hello everyone.... a big update this evening! On Friday, we went right into downtown Toronto near the main train station and had a long walk around. We started out by going to the CN Tower and the Rogers Centre Skydome. The Rogers Centre is the stadium where the Toronto Blue Jays baseball team play, we aren't sure whether we will get to a game, but we will try. The CN Tower is obviously the main tourist attraction in Toronto and the tallest free standing tower in the world and one of the main places we wanted to go whilst we are here... we got to the lift but an uncharacteristic attack of the nerves from myself put paid to our visit! We got a refund so will go back before we leave. After my case of ... read more

Part Two of tonight's blog marathon! Saturday 29th May On Saturday, with the sun shining and the thermometer pushing 30 degrees centigrade, Rachel, Darina and myself headed for a lovely brunch at a cool restaurant called Fire on the East Side, where we stuffed ourselves with delicious food. We took a metro and streetcar (tram) to East Toronto and the shores of Lake Ontario. The neighbourhood is called The Beaches and was full of little shops, beautiful beach houses and bars with patios built for a day like Saturday. We walked along the beach and through the leafy side streets until brunch wore off and we needed to refuel. So we stopped at first, a sweet shop, which turned out to be more than that. It had its very own little corner of Britain inside, particularly ... read more

I arrived in Toronto this morning at 5:30 local time. I only slept about 3 hours last night. I was disappointed that both LAX and Toronto airports didn't have free wifi. I took a shuttle bus to downtown Toronto for 33 bucks round trip. I was walking around the city but not much was open at 7:30 in the morning. I walked to the CN tower and I am now inside the Rogers Centre where the Blue Jays play. I couldn't find free wifi anywhere in this city but I figured the hotel inside the stadium would have it. I guess I looked like I was staying here cause the lady at the front desk gave me the access code without even asking my room number or if I was even staying here. I am thinking ... read more
