Yeah I know.. 1963? For some folks around here, that's like saying "I remember where I was when I read that Queen Victoria had died." Or, "The Jurassic? Sure, I remember that. Now, the Cretaceous, that WAS before my time."

That was the year after we arrived in Australia, not that I remember but my parents used to tell me about this dreadful winter in '63.

You're right, it's not a bad place but beyond Halifax metro there is not much. We have done all the tourist stuff and it's too far to Ontario or the US for a weekend break.
I am looking forward to some diversity and lots of holidays

Yes, I can't wait to be back in Europe and hop to different places ... yes, hols have been sadly lacking with time issues and back and forth to the UK. We are retiring , but if I were working, I would be very happy about extra time off !!!

I can live with a little cold if the summer's are as hot and humid as the South.
Hot and humid is fine when you are 20 but not so much after 50

Re: Anyone looking forward to the long UK winter?
Thanks very much, we are definitely living our dream thats for sure. Living in a listed house can be a pain sometimes but overall well worth the minor inconveniences. There is something really quite magical about living in a house with more than 400 years of history. Our kids are only 11 and they hated hot and humid but havent said a word about it now we are heading into the winter.
