Hahaha, you're kidding?? Yeah I'm afraid I've had enough of the Granite City! Don't get me wrong its nice, but I've just had enough of the UK in general! I'll always love dear Britannia aha, but right now my Canadian blood is stirring and I just want to get out to Canada :D

Lived there all my life until we moved here 7 years ago. Now we all have Canadian citizenship too. I have visited Aberdeen 3 times since we moved. I am due another trip home again before the end of the year. Love going back but it's exhausting catching up with everyone :)

Kids now 19 and 23 while I of course get younger ;)

Seen a bit of a change this past year. Older son who lives down Halifax way finished college and is now employed in his trade (electronics). Younger son at college doing carpentry. Mr Cookie desperately needed to change job and is now working out at the oil sands way way up at the Kearl Field on a 10/10 day rotation. As for me, I had a change of job but still with the same organization. No more shifts, weekends or working holidays yayyyyy :thumbsup:

Big decisions to be made this year though. Do we stay or move to either Calgary or Vancouver????? Oh ma heid!

Whats the harm in trying it out while you can, if you can keep your home and even go for a short term. Nice to have an adventure see some other sights, and if you like it stay and if not go back.

Nothing wrong with a move to the Prairies, beautiful hot summers, no black flies, no rain. I'm not going to mention the 6 month winters ;)
