Default No going back now!!!!!!!!!!!

Well we leave our beloved country on 17.1.08
Two nights in England
Fly from Manchester/Calgary 19.1.08
Overnight Calgary
Fly Calgary/Regina 20.1.08

Ready to embrace my new beloved Province of Saskatchewan and the "mid sized Prairie town" that is Indian Head and is going to be "home"

And by the way here is a picture of said "home" which is totally ours, mortage free, from tomorrow!

The LMO problem seems so long ago, this immigration really is a very strange thing

You see I kept a big surprise for you all. We bought it at the start of November but I didnt want to say anything "just incase", but it is officially ours tomorrow.

Call over anytime - dont worry about the eight hour drive - wasnt even looking forward to Switzerland but now that we have evertyhing booked for Canada I am looking forward to it. I haven't even got my suitcase out of the attic yet

Good luck to you and hope you don't get too bad a winter like what we have.

Just a quicky, Is the house behind that shed in the picture? Do you have one of the house too?

Just as well I understand your sense of humor

Thought you might have wondered about the giant spruce in front of the garage - knowing me I will reverse into it and wreck the car

My OH thinks he will be in heaven because there is also a double garage out the back

Actually the house looks very nice, I was wondering about the tree though, odd place for it.

I think it must be a Saskatchewan thing!! all the houses here are completely surrounded by trees, I thought it very odd at first that they blocked the light coming through the windows, but someone said they put trees around the houses to give some shelter from the wind.

Anyway Ali Congrats on your house, let me know when you arrive as your only about hour and half from us!!
