What a good thread, well written. I can echo some of those feelings, but overall it was the right move for us. As for making Canadian friends, we found that hard, but have a few who we met through work, and surprisingly a few we have made friends with through other English people. Totally agree about wanting to work part time, but finding that hard, and still don't have an inkling for a trunk, but sort of fancy an RV, but will stick with the tent for a little while longer
Thanks for the thread really enjoyed it

Great post Ann, hope things get better for your hubby on the work/friendship front. Sounds like you both have a really positive attitude which is definately a plus if you embark on the emigration journey.

Good luck for the future,

I also hardly ever read the Canniversarys but when I saw yours I did as I always like your posts. We too have been here just over 3 years and I have gone from homesick to ambivilent. Not sure I'll ever feel 100% happy about where I live ever again.
Oh and your OH sounds just like mine

Yeah I feel that too....I think once you make that move and live somewhere else....I dont think anywhere will ever feel the same or settled again....a weird feeling.

You are awesome anne m. Hang in there xxxx

Thank you everybody

Congrats Ann and family.
