I have not been driving so forgive me if i don't get my distances time wise exact! We thought being between 2 airports, not far from the coast was a pretty good location. Our kids love it here, we have taken them to Northport beach but no way near as much as we would of liked. We have excellent doctors based in Pharmasave on Robert Angus Drive, an excellent specialist who i use to see i think on Prince Arthur Street plus a really good dentists on Laplanche. When we first got here & set up bank accounts ever time we went in the girls were given suckers, the staff were so helpful, we felt very very welcome.

What about the bank in Amherst, and the Church, and the Chemists?

Quite unique aren't they - but why should I talk about them - you're from there you must know all about them. Go on tell everyone about them and maybe they'll add Amherst to their reccies.

I once took on an author that had written a book on alchol and drinkers. There were 6 of us at the start and a table full of every drink you could think of. By the early hours there was just me and the guy left sitting and one sober person being the judge, to see who was going to be left standing up, when we both got up from the table.
