I love the houses with wrap around porches.
I like my laundry room and the fact that my washer and dryer are not in my kitchen
I love the sound of the pool filter in the summer, I fall asleep in a precarious position on the deck that surrounds my pool to that sound.

I love my ceiling fans and the mere fact that I need them
I love staring out over Grand Lake and marvelling at its beauty and its size and how warm it is.
I love the boardwalk at Melmerby Beach, with its clean washrooms, gentle sloping beach and warm water, how pretty it all is, how fresh and clean it feels.

I don't doubt your sincerity but this text, apparently from an advert for Fabreze, makes me crave Camden and its Trainspotting toilets.

I reckon the houses go a long way to making up for the lack of other interesting looking buildings. I love cycling along, looking through the trees at all the different types. Porches. Sun rooms. Weird and wonderful shapes.
Heritage homes

Only been here a few months but here are a few things from me:

• The mix of cultures and people
• The people are nice and there is no where I have felt unsafe
• Transfers on using public transport
• How the snow is dealt with and the fact there are snow ploughs/blowers just for the sidewalk and bicycle lanes
• Gym membership for 3 months is $65.50 and one month in UK was £43
• The ability to price match between grocery stores has become a new past time!
• Ceasars
• Poutine
• Street Meat

Aparently around Yonge & Maitland or Church & Carlton are the places for that sort of thing around your way?..Nice to hear you're enjoying what the city has to offer.

Its not from any Febreze advert (cant stand that stuff), this is personal for me.... and it makes you crave toilets?? Why?

Great list. Would love a wrap around porch myself, ditto pool, but would pass on the ceiling fans.

Is Grand Lake warm? Is this Nova Scotia, Canada? Is it very shallow or something?

I didn't think it was literally from an advert for a cleaning product. Rather that it was in the manner of an advert for a cleaning product "clean!" "fresh!" "shiny!" "new!" "expensive!". Like Jossie's posts, it speaks to the dreams of the Desperate Housewives; a peculiarly American vision of perfection. One might expect the Osmonds to live next door.

I don't literally want to plunge into the worst toilet in Scotland (and I know that Camden isn't in Scotland) but, to me, that vision suggests boredom and barbituates. I swing to the other extreme, wanting grit and excitement.

Like this one?

Ouch.

Today I like Canada, for the first time in a couple of weeks (my fault, mainly, not Canada's). The sun is shining, with a hard bright blinding light off the snow and it feels like spring might come and it's +3! I have dragged the salty door mats out into the garden and given them a good beating and I have spoken to a hundred passing people, and they've been really nice, and lots know me by name....and no I can't (yet) remember theirs! There is a spirit of inclusivity and community that is encouraging.

I still can't get over the fact you actually moved from France to Fredericton NS.

Yes Grand Lake gets very warm, its not shallow though....
Yes, this is Nova Scotia, Canada

• The mix of cultures and people

[/QUOTE]

well if you came from London I would have thought it was one of the best places in the world for a mix of cultures it was when i lived there
