Four years
 
Unbelievable that we have been here 4 years today...

The first few years I gave a full run down on what we had been up to. Now I'm going to keep it short...

It's been a roller coaster with some really tough times but overall I think we're as happy here as we would have been in the UK... it's broadened the kids horizons and that's never a bad thing when I see what some of the kids back home are like...

All things considered I don't know whether it' any better than life would have been in the UK...just different. Maybe we should have just moved to France?

Congrats! We hit 5 years recently - a lot has changed in that time for us, but at the very least, it's broadened our horizons.

I wanted when younger live in Australia and made a wrong turn and ended up in Canada, never thought in a million years I'd end up in Canada...:lol:

I didn't even have a desire to visit Canada at the time....


Happy 4 years.

Will France even exist when you get to Novo's age? If that jar of fromidable
cracks and spreads it could be the end, invasion of the fromage snatchers style.
