Hannah has returned, flying in from the north as we drove up from the south. She had a wonderful time in Canada, meeting her new team, learning all about the work she'll be doing on the project, and having a king-size bed to herself with no baby to wake her.
She tells me she was there for work but her photos suggest otherwise. It was Calgary Stampede Week during her stay, a thoroughly agricultural event that dates back to 1886 and celebrates all things cowboy/girl - they have them in Canada too! Hannah was required to attend all business meetings in appropriate dress, hence the earlier Dallas-episode-style photo, and returned with many Canadian goodies and a huge shiny Chevron-branded belt buckle. Now she's talking about moving from oil into ranching.
Despite accusations of being full of rednecks it turns out that Calgary is a civilised place.
Or perhaps not.
This was in the children's section of the agri-expo, and is a model of how a cow gives birth, accompanied by videos (no, you don't lift a lid off a cow's back - that's for you to push on to squeeze him out!)
Cleanliness is next to Godliness. Here a farmer hoovers his prize cattle.
Sheep turn out to be useful.
Hannah says she knows how Bluebell feels.
The First Nations village.
Check wagon racing.
There's my cowgirl!
