We're feeling quite good about the whole thing at the moment though we have had our moments where we felt like hiding under the rug and asking the world to go away. Funnily enough, I'm sure that feeling will surface again between now and August.

Yeah, lived out there for ten years.

Came back in 2001 just after our son was born, thought it would be better for him to grow up with his grandparents around etc, and coz OH is english, (but we won't hold that against him) :D England is where we ended up.

After our daughter was born 2003 we decided that we were going to go back but it has taken till now to get our you know whats into gear.

Canada will hold a better lifestyle for us and most importantly the wee yins so here we are packing up and heading back. :eek:

After all grandparents can always visit. :scared:

The local stuff "Growers" or "Okanagan" tastes perfumed to me.:mad:

You can't beat a nice pint of strongbow! Prefer it on tap - fat chance here though, used to like a nice Addlestones but that disapeared off the shelves ages ago and will be nonexistant here oh well the price we pay for living here - would I go back NO WAY! :D
