So, I assume apart from the nice bit of seeing your Dad, you are disliking everything else you see? How long have you been in Toronto?

Basically seeing my UK turning into something so alien. I know there are still areas, lets say untouched but just the general way of how we are changing. What frustrates me is how I am not able to see how it can change for the better for our friends and family. Everyone I speak to is unhappy with nothing positive to say. Guess I just do not know how to handle it. I know when we left back in -96 things were also a little unsettled but this is something else. I am not saying there are no problems in Canada and we do not moan etc but as I say frustration is the key word at this time. Feel a little better now after letting off steam with you guys, I thank you.:)

Left end of 96 with hubby and 3 children just in time for Winter. Love Toronto, Canada would be perfect without the wind chills as I am sure a lot of people will agree!;)

Let us just say split in two. I will always be a Brit no matter what. We may be small in size but my god we have left a footprint to be proud of around the world. Let us just hope a turnaround is had by all:) OK now I am getting emotional I need another Shairaz;) Also have to say way to go Canada for giving my family great opportunity and I will be forever humbled to its welcoming arms;):thumbsup:
