Just Moved to North Vancouver from Cambridgehsire. Looking to talk and meet some fellow brits in this foreign land!

Hi,

Welcome to BE and to Canada! We're the other side of the mountains from you, in Okotoks, Alberta but I'm sure some BC based folk will be along in due course.

Hope all goes well for you in Vancouver. Beautiful city.

Kind regards,

Eamonn & Janet.

Thanks for the messgae guys I really do appreciate it. How is life in Alberta? Its gets very hot in the summer and cold in the winter or so I gather!! Yes Vancouver is a beautiful city and I am very lucky to be here.

All the best,

Paul

Well, it was 104°F on the front porch here an hour ago, so yep, get's a little warm in summer and, if you take a peek at this item on our blog, it'll give you an idea of the joys of winter!

Seriously though, we are loving it here at present and are in no rush back to the UK just yet.

Kind regards,

Eamonn & Janet.

Welcome to BC, Paul!

Hi Paul
Welcome to BC... we moved here in Feb of this year from Northants... we love it and couldn't wish for a better place to live.

Thanks very much. Am getting used to everything and working really hard on the job front. Had two interviews today and another tomorrow!!

Doesn't it rain a lot here though!!

Hi Terese

Thanks for thr message. I am pleased that you love it here, I must say it is beautiful when the sun shines and we are all really lucky I guess! I am settling in ok and yes came here on my own but am presently staying with my auntie, uncle and cousins until I get myself sorted out. Will feel more at home when I get my own place thats for sure!

Paul

Thanks very much for the messgae.

It is a lovely place to be. Where in Northants were you from and what made you make the move?

We lived near Oundle on the east side... as for moving here... mountains, lakes, crystal clear rivers and a slower pace of life... it's totally wonderful! how about yourself?

I am originally from the Ely area of Cambridgeshire. Born and bred near Oliver cromwell and the big cathedral! Came here for a change at this point in my life and as you say the great outdoors. Have also just found employment which is a large weight off my mind.

The area of BC that I live in doesn't see a lot of rain, so we tend to welcome it in the summer months!

I'd choose Vancouver over the fens anyday... best of luck to you!

Welcome to Vancouver Paul - wait till November hits, thats when it really starts to rain, especially in North Van!
