The old google was good for one more shot.

This sort of thing is of course frowned upon in Richmond Hill.

We bought ours via internet and lots of photos from our excellent realtor, when we were still in UK.

When we got here she greeted us in our home, had two lovely candles and candlesticks on the mantelpiece and a welcome plate, a huge glass bowl full of fruit in our kitchen , basic supplies in the fridge and to top it all off she "apologised" for not getting replacing the caulking around the bath for us when she cleaned the house for us

Above and beyond the call of duty eh?

I can understand that, since getting one of the two monthly sales of the province was probably worth having!

Was gonna let that slide...but actually in our little town of 2000 people 65 houses were sold last year, most of them bought by people from AB. BC and ON who are getting out of the rat race and coming to SK for a better quality of life And that's what they say, I didn't make it up
