Re: NL to BC and a bit lost

I just did not expect to have the new to Canada butterflies and 'what have we done' feelings, we have lived in Canada for 10 years (in Feb), I know Canada, I'm a Canadian citizen FFS! :)

Re: NL to BC and a bit lost

You are right, I'm told that the worst of what we have (which is nothing compared to NL) will be gone by mid-March and then I hope we can start to do the things we came here to do, I'm sure it's just...

Re: NL to BC and a bit lost

Yes, we have looked at a few places outside of Vernon, where houses are affordable, even as far as Falkland, we won't rule our moving out a bit, we don't need to be in the town.

Sadly my mum passed away last week and I'm in the UK now, dealing with stuff, one of the pitfalls of expat life I guess. :(
