We have rented a house until the end of june 08, this gives us time to have a good look around at the surrounding areas for when we want to buy.
Any info greatly appreciated.

Cheers
Kim and Mick ( and lulu the dog)
Cochrane ALBERTA is a great place to live, you see the mountains everyday, can go walking or running by the river, have some great small resturants, and if you want to go to Calgary to get your city 'fix' then it is only a 20 minute drive. I moved here straight from the UK 5 years ago, and it was the best move we made. PM if you have any specific questions about Cochrane

Regardless of the (I think) blunt tone of your response, you still have not read the other posts - and we are still not talking about Ontario. So to continue about the cold and the mines in this instance is irrelevant. If anyone decides to move to Cochrane, Ontario, we'll be sure to ask you about it.

I am also guessing you are not British, due to your scathing comments about 'us' not being welcome in 'your' communities. Nicely put.

You seem to have a habit of diving into a thread, ripping it to sheds, then buggering off.

OOh - that one hit the nail on the head!! Good for you Ann. True we all have our own opinions but really it is one thing to pass through a place and quite another to live there. Maybe Howard passed through one cold glum day in winter, maybe it was even in Ontario, all I know is that for those of us actually living here - WE LOVE IT. And trust me - I have worked in tourism long enough to know that EVERYBODY whines!! It is the nature of being human.

Thinking about it Howard is probably a pussy cat - he says these outrageous things to get us all going - he probably is the mildest of men in the real world. Eh Howard?

No, call me quick to jump to conclusions if you like, but I think Howard is just a prat.

No mick isnt into mining, he's a electrician, we are only renting this property until june, and cochrane sounds very nice to me. I expect cold winters were coming to canada arent we!!!
Our real estate agent told us it was salubrious(not sure if spelling is right) and its too posh a neighborhood to peg out washing, its considered a eye sore.
We love going to timmy ho's for breakie cant wait to get there. Got the packers coming today, hence cant sleep and up at 4am. Its been so stressful this past few weeks, what with 90 day letter coming and having to book medicals etc in, my daughter is working in ibiza for the summer so had to turn round in a day last week for medical, my turn tomorrow then we are all done, just need her dad to sign the form!!!!!

Would like to meet up with anyone interested on cochrane, for some pointers of where and where not to go etc, and for general advice and friendly faces.
Should be out there 12th august if all goes to plan with the house.

kim
