Thank you!

Re: Places to Live In Nova.....
 

Not a patch on Kelowna eh??

How's it going out East, have you found "home" yet?

Re: Places to Live In Nova.....
 

I won't answer that as some Kelowna peeps will see and then slaughter me....!

Still desperately searching for home...ahh well we always have the trailer to sleep in should nothing come up....EEK!

Re: Places to Live In Nova.....
 

I know that feeling of always seeking home girl! I am starting to wonder if it is more about (for me) understanding the TV schedule better and accessing my favourite chocolate more easily (Galaxy minstrels). I have to say, I am feeling surprisingly happy here in the 2 weeks we have been here, hope springs eternal! Search for Minstrels continue until MIL sends care package...............until then on a one woman mission to find a suitable local replacement.

Hi

We lived in Bedford for 3 years prior to our return 5 years ago. Bedford is a great place to live especially if you have young children - good schools - lakes to swim in - excellent yacht club - good supermarkets( especially Pete's Fruitique if you miss food from home!). Housing might be a bit more expensive but the quality of life there is very good.

We are considering moving back - looking forward to the great summers - not sooooo much the winters - but then you do have the Hockey to look forward to!

We are just going out to look at a couple of houses over that way this morning - yes we are still searching! I may yet have to get the tent out of the trailer and live in that!

Re: Places to Live In Nova.....
 

Good Luck with your search! Bedford is a great place to live - we still have loads of friends there that we keep in touch with in Bedford and we are seriously thinking of going back to live there next year.

Areas like Papermill Lake, Nottingham, Brookshire off Hammonds Plain Rd are all good places to live and the estates up by the new(ish) school are good places to bring children up as they are very safe. Shopping is excellent in Bedford with Sobey's and Atlantic superstore and of course the 2 malls (Sunnyside is great!).

Don't know if it is still the case but I do remember it being difficult to get registered with a local doctor as most had closed books - perhaps others on this site can help with this issue.

Good Luck - with the winter you are seeing NS at it's worst - just wait for the summers they're glorious.

Re: Places to Live In Nova.....
 

That is encouraging to hear, about the summers! Though the winter has been ok because of novelty for us, and only having been here 3 weeks!

Good luck with Bedford AmyDavid, sounds really nice, would like to hear what you think, we havent had the chance to look out there yet.

Happy hunting!

Re: Places to Live In Nova.....
 

Thought you might like to know that they are hoping to relieve the traffic congestion along Bedford Highway which can really hold you up if travelling into Halifax for work at peak times...
The proposal below was suggested in 2006....:D
We now have a house in Woodlawn Dartmouth and have surprisingly found it faster to get to downtown from here at peak times .something we never would have discovered as we have lived Halifax Side in West End for over ten years..

"Halifax Regional Council has given the green light to a fast ferry between Bedford and downtown Halifax, despite the reservations of a number of councillors.

The $30-million project was approved in principle, meaning funding must now be secured from other levels of government before commuters can actually cross the Bedford Basin on high-speed ferries.

A study presented to council Tuesday night says there is support for the idea and that it could work if the municipality uses two ferries, each capable of carrying 350 people.

The report also recommends providing free parking at the ferry terminal and charging a one-way fare of $5.

Coun. Linda Mosher doesn't think a $5 fare is necessary, but believes it is time to start using the harbour to reduce traffic congestion.

"One only has to drive down the Bedford Highway in the morning and try to turn left," said Mosher. "It's impossible. The traffic is completely blocked."stion along Bedford Highway by adding another ferry"

I'm okay because I don't work! Well apart from looking after two small children and I also do not drive so I should be okay!! As for my OH...ahh well it will remind him of the UK if he gets stuck in traffic everyday and also give him something to moan about and we all know men like a good moan....! :)

Re: Places to Live In Nova.....
 

Some travel time will give him some *man* time so that he can get straight in and get straight into it, my OH is loving the bus journey he is making because he has 25 minutes of MP3 time!

Did you see some nice houses and what did you think of Bedford?

Re: Places to Live In Nova.....
 

We saw one in Clayton Park somewhere and wanted to see another in Sheffield (is it park or just Sheffield?) but the agent forgot the keys - doh so we are going to see it tomorrow and that is the one I really want as long as inside is okay so FINGERS CROSSED!

Re: Places to Live In Nova.....
 

Now this is still renting right? And are those areas Halifax? I think its Sheffield Park...............like I know! I know down to Sobeys and back again. I was just looking at the MLS houses for sale...........fell in love with one in Windsor, so hope no-one else likes it and it stays on the market until next year..............how nice of me! :D

Good luck tomorrow, hope it is just what you want.

Re: Places to Live In Nova.....
 

I looked at a couple of places in Windsor in October but they were very disappointing compared to the details. Send me the link and I will tell you if I have seen it.
