Default Londoners in Ontario

Just found this website and it's fab to find so many in the same situation. We live out on a small holding in the middle of a corn field (far cry from home) Husband really into it me missing home particularly this weekend - mother in-law's birthday.
Anyone near Flamborough????

Reasonably near. Am from London. Am in the middle of a field. Was never close to any mothers-in-law.

We live in Walthamstow and are moving to Toronto June 27th. Where are you now based and why did you decide to leave E17 for Canada? How does life compare now? I know the holidays are crap in Ontario but do you have a better quality of life now?

Based in Ottawa. Grew up in Walthamstow but lived in other places too afterwards.

Holidays - I get 4 weeks plus stat holidays so not too bad at all.

Life's a lot easier here - getting around, financially, less social nuisance etc.

Probably less exciting though.
