We packed up and got on a plane to start a new life in Alberta.

Lived in Airdrie from day 1 and love it. Wouldn't want to live anywhere else. Husband is involved with coaching the new Rugby team, daughter is trying to play too. I'm playing slo-pitch - all this coming to end with the end of summer but looking forward to next year. Actually looking forward to the snow - still love it despite it lasting for 6months

Went back to an old job earlier this year, less stress, less hours and less travelling = more happiness.

Still love Canada, the country and the people. Got some amazing friends, a great house and an all round better life. Going back to Blighty in October for the first proper visit (alone) and although looking forward to it I know I'll be so excited to get back 'home'.

Congrats, sounds like it's all fallen into place for you

Will be applying for Citizenship when I can stop spending the fee on wine or beer or just plain old having fun LOL

more important in my mind is that
