Default One week tomorrow.......

Hi Guys,

Finally after nearly two years of waiting (for the flat back in scotland to sell!!) we've made it over.....

So far the week has been pretty relaxed, all or property was waiting for us at Toronto when we landed (we took delivery yesterday....). the whole thing was straight forward thanks to the advice from the guys on here way back.

As an anniversary present some kind folks in a Toyota SUV decided to give us a wee fright on the roundabout, I was already on it and just about to signal to come off when this thing appeared right in front of me. Fortunately the speed were slow enough to go round and shake my head in dismay! . I guess there are folks over here still trying to work these things out?!

Scare over...... looking forward to a weekend of sunshine now
Marty

Apart from the roundabout adventure, glad its all going well!! Roundabouts seem to be a bit of a novelty factor here. We have one not so far from us and it was complete chaos when it first appeared but people seem to be getting the hang of it now. Anyway, I hope you continue to enjoy the new adventure!

I've seen that on some of the larger roundabouts in the uk, I tend not to think too much about it now instead just reverse my direction from experience. it's settling down now..
