Not necessarily on bacon, because some people in the UK prefer streaky bacon in the first place (not me). Also, you can get back bacon cut at the meat counter or the butchers.

here is my dilema , what did you move for ? all my missus sees is cold winters , give me some arguements please ,

I know we're 9 pages into this, but I would suggest reasons for moving to Canada should be your own reasons, based on what you've seen & on your experiences. I will never know how anyone has the balls to emigrate when they've not been to their new country. I think that even when you have visited a number if times, have a number of Canadian friends whom you keep in touch with & one half of your pairing has a job to go to, it's still hard.

So look at your life now, where you are & what you like/don't like and compare with where you think you'd like to settle in Canada. If you're not sure about that yet, then go take a trip, explore and compare. If your partner goes on the trip too, then hope that she loves it enough to see her future there.

Good luck! Katie

Thank-you! and thanks for taking the time to browse it, Shard

I'm always the annoying one with the camera, making everyone wait while I photograph everything..but sometimes it's really worth it!

I suppose if you have a bow and arrow on your back, nobody will dare making too many complaints!

Those look like high quality knives you are stocking, they remind me of Oppinel knives from France.

I guess! Although most people know i'm not the violent type, usually

Yes the Helle knives are top quality, their website is also a lovely place to browse if you're into that sort of thing www.helle.no

Some of it's cold, but Canada's a big place with lots of climates. You can live on the West coast if you don't like the cold, but like the UK, it'll be damp, with dull days in the winter.

Some of the colder places have a different cold from the damp chill of a UK winter. Take Calgary. Our friends in the UK assume it's freezing and snows all the time, but the key thing here is that it's dry, and sunny - we get far more sunny days than anywhere in the UK, including Cornwall. And the summers? Again dry, and warm.
