Anyhoo, if ye want t'bide in Canada,, Nova Scotia,,(New Scotland to you Sassanachs) is the place to be.
Caul winters,,biling summers,, cheep hooses,cheep food,,cheep women,, dear speeding tickets,, nae midges,,but a couple o'weeks o' bloody black flies,,the mosquitoes go for immigrant blood more than the locals,,, I guess we're 80% proof and the locals are watered doon a'bit.
I have to admit though,, on my last couple of visits back to Edinburgh, I wis sair hearted to leave..Ach well,If I wisna attached,,,,?

Although if I were to move back to Canada now, I would move to Calgary without hesitation. The only other place I would want to move would be BC, but I know there is no work for me there. I think of BC (Okanagan mainly) as a potential retirement spot; or somewhere to buy a vineyard once I've made my millions.

Hi CalgaryAMC.
I feel all dejected now..... i didn't realize i'd been "droning on" about Calgary! I thought i'd just been giving my opinion!
If, indeed, i have been droning on about our prospective settling area too much, maybe it's something to do with the fact that me and mine are still stuck in England, when i'd much much much rather be over there starting our new life.
I think about Canada every day - and i mean - every day, even if it's only a fleeting thought. I'm excited by the prospect of succeeding in what we're actually doing - even though there's a 14 to 16 month waiting list from where we are now!
But for you, CalgaryAMC, and anyone else out there who i'm boring the hell out of - i apologise.
Take care y'all,
Kev.
