Going to Saskatchewan so not too far away in the Canadian scheme of things.

Welcome to BE.

Are you glad you moved?

That's good to hear - we agreed on a buyer of our house last night and now I have taken fright at the enormity of what we are doing! Have to remain calm and keep breathing

CONGRATULATIONS!

Now the nail biting starts! It is all such a weird situation - it doesn't somehow seem real
The whole process of the house sale and virtually taking your life to pieces in order to re-create it elsewhere is like nothing I have ever experienced before.
It isn't like moving just to another town in the UK.
I can't say I have actually enjoyed it - there have been too many ups and downs - but, hopefully we are almost at the final stages
THEN the fun will start

Welcome to BE

Glad to hear everything is going well in the short time you've been in Calgary.

We're over ourselves next weekend for 2 weeks from Gloucestershire to get things sorted on the house build front
