Canniversary
September 13th 1980... 30 years today...
We left Heathrow with 10 suitcases and 3 kids.. It was my dream to come here since I was 9 years old..
OH was a mine deputy in UK. So when we saw the mine here was looking for UK miners, we applied and it took just 18 months to get here.
Still living in same beautiful little town in the Rocky mountains.. Lots of ups and downs. Now we are older, 65 and 67, we find we can't cope very well with the cold winters..

Congatulations
Is wintering down south, or on the west coast an option?

Re: Canniversary
I had noticed, but thought why spoil the moment for the sake of the truth and anyway what's in a year by the time you've been there that long.......! Congratulations and hope you have many more happy years there together in Canada.
