Re: Kettle Valley development in Okanagan, BC

As others have said, it's not really a community in it's own right, as it was advertised that it was going to be a few years ago. The 'town centre' has never really materialised. There is a pizza...

The people I know working several jobs have done so for a long time, not as a result of the "current economic hardships".

Totally makes sense! I like it here but knowing what I know now, I don't think I'd have chosen it as my forever home.

Re: If you'd had a crystal ball.....

So what's your story? Are you back in the UK now? How did/do you manage being separated from your twin? I have a hard time thinking that me and my twin will be separated for ever.
