Hello from the middle of the countryside in Beautiful British Columbia. where after weeks and weeks I finally found some time to write a few words. The sensible thing for me to do would be to fill you in with all the fun things that I have been up to since I last blogged, such as the walk along the Monsal Trail, Thomas' Baptism, Cropready. I will get round them, in between job hunting and investigating the 40 acres of land our apartment is on.
I thought I would list out all things I have found out so far.
1. Don't try and land (activate your permanent residence visa) in August as all of he foreign Students are arriving and the Immigration officers are stressed
2. Car hire does not come with insurance, insurance is expensive!
3. The apartment is huge (compared to 1bed room apartments in the UK)
4. I have blueberries, blackberries, and apple in my garden and possibly kiwi's and grapes
5. The neighbours are really friendly
6. There is no sign of bears (phew) but there is signs of cougars!
7. Walmart (asda) sells everything but food.
8. Everyone says 'your welcome' a lot.
9. It is cheaper to buy a new printer then it is buy replacement ink
