Well all that melting snow has been assisted by some rain high up in the Saint John River basin. This has delivered the highest water levels in the Saint John river since 1973 (so far).

Seems this blog is creating alot of interest from potential emigrators (if there is such a word). I now have about 18 resumes. Plus a flurry of people who are arriving to carryout their reccie visits of Fredericton and other spots.

.

Today the Bradbury family arrive on their reccie visit. On the May 6th we have two families arriving the Warren's the Hawkin's and Kathy and James + family are arriving in May too. Finally on the July 22nd the Beeston's arrive!

If you guys all land in Fredericton , we will almost double the number of children and young people in the Newcomers club!

.

If any more of you readers are planning a visit let me know and I am happy to help with anything you need, meet ups, car hire, etc...  and no I don't want any money,  I do it because we need more people  and I enjoy helping people.
