Re: Just landed
Had some crap news just before we came out, our buyers of the house split up and pulled out, the day before completion, bummer!
But we had two jobs to come to and the kids had a better school and we have somewhere to stay, so here we are and loving it.
Hi the Gibbos
And a very big welcome to Canada, sorry to hear about the house faliing through im sure it will all work out. Great news about getting jobs so quickly looks like it was meant to be

Re: Just landed
Just how cold is it working in plumbing at the moment Carl?
I would guess that we are probably THE only family left from the Sherwood Forest meet back in - when was it April/May 07 - must be cos I was recovering from a broken leg right?
.....Still we have good reason for being the last family.......we need for me to work about another 18 -24 months or thereabouts so that I come to Canada with a small but-worth-waiting-for pension.
I've attached a few photos of that long-distant-past 1st meet in Sherwood Forest on a beautiful spring day.........

We're still here, and we was at the Robin Hood meet-up - Long story! No doubt Carl filled you in
Hope you're all well
