A MOUNTIE!!!

This is Parliament in Ottawa with me & my friend "Claude Ouisneaux" actually that's what his name sounded like but I have no idea how to spell it as my Mountie friend had a very thick French accent.

Yes Claude is a real Mountie on real Mountie duties. He was so cute, when he moved on the footpath to move next to me for the photo he did it like he was on a military parade shuffling in to line. He was very nice but I'm afraid Mum that he said as much as he'd like to come & visit you in Australia his duties keep him here!! I also asked where his horse was - he said he was back at the RCMP stables, he didn't need him for the duties he had for today!
