In my case the Cumbrian-cross-Berkshire accent probably doesn't help...

I wouldn't bother phoning round doctors, it would take a while as most work alone. Phone the hospital and ask switchboard who is taking patients, they usually keep a list. Also ask if anyone is ALWAYS taking patients- avoid!!
If no luck phone or drop into a walk in clinic, they should also have a current list. I know Kamloops has a problem, you may have to wait a while, just keep trying .

I am the only Brit living in Juniper, please find another area to live

BTW, Walmart now has an 'international foods' section that has some British products, plus there is that place up by Toys r Us, I think it's called Bulk Barn. They have some stuff as well.

The Winters aren't that bad, the trick to keeping warm is rather than having one huge warm winter jacket, have lots of different layers.

Hi Marie,

Hope you're finding Kamloops as pleasant as we have. We arrived 2010 after moving from Llandrinio, originally from Shrewsbury. Kids love it as we do, quite a few brits about, i even work with a Welshman

Sending you a PM..
