3 months already??
Well we arrived 3 months ago today!! It feels so much longer really. We have accomplished so much and met so many people in that time! But it's not surprising we still have a long way to go before the journey is over!
Emotionally there have been some real ups and downs, currently I'm on a high and hopefully I shall stay there!
Yarmouth is not a bad little town. I'm starting to feel at home and make friends. You just have to be careful what you say as they're all related or went to school together or some other longtime relationship!!!
Anyway here's to another 6 months by which time I should be starting to feel settled!!!

I'm currently job searching as I'm bored of staying at home and could do witrh some $ as the relocation wasn't cheap.
All the best in Yarmouth.

Re: 3 months already??
Congrats on your 3 months anniversary. We're in Ontario and our 3rd month Canniversary was on Tuesday. I know exactly what you mean about accomplishing so much in that time. Unlike you, we haven't met that many friends but luckily the kids have and are settling down well in school.

All the best in Yarmouth.

We went to watch the lighting of the Xmas tree last night and it was so nice to be able to say hello to a few people along the way, made me feel much more at home!
I too got a job as I was so bored at home. It was the best thing I could have done and I am now an administrative assistant and meeting so many interesting people!
I'm still unsure whether Yarmouth is the right place for us but only time will tell. I'm confident though that Canada ticks the important boxes!!
So good luck with the job hunting, you'll feel so much better for it.

Re: 3 months already??
I don't think I can describe the people I have met as friends. I mean more generally people we have met at work, the realtor, teachers, other parents. We still need to make real friends!! So I took it upon myself a couple of weeks ago to organise a "girls night out" and invite all the women I have met to date. We're off to the cinema and for a drink afterwards so it should be a laugh. It's such a strange mix of people I can't wait to see them all interacting!!

Re: 3 months already??
Congrats! We've just survived our first 3mths in Ontario too, certainly lots of ups and downs! I'm also at home, beginning to feel a bit twitchy so either volunteering/paid employment calling! Met a couple of nice people who I would call friends, unfortunately they both work full time. Otherwise we've also met random group of acquaintances, don't know if I'm brave enough to try getting them together, but good on you! We were thinking of doing a similar thing for neighbours on our street, as they don't seem to speak to each other much. Could go either way...!

Re: 3 months already??
I think the 3 month mark is when it dawns on you that it's no longer a holiday and you see your surroundings for what they really are!!! Hey ho, here is good for the moment and I'll just have to see what the future brings but I'm 99% sure it won't be a return to the UK, just maybe a move to a town with a little bit more bzzz than here!!! That's if I can convince my dear OH who seems to be completely happy here!!!
