    Canada’s Weather – What it’s REALLY like…

    October 19, 2011 /

    It’s supposed to be a British characteristic - an obsession with the weather. Something that’s discussed in any situation, the Post Office queue, the bus stop, at the office, when meeting the Queen. OK, I can’t be certain about that last one, but you can imagine it can’t you?

    October 12, 2011 /

    When I agreed to become a "Trailing Spouse", "Expat Wife" etc. I let my natural optimism carry me. I looked forward to change, new opportunities, seeing more of the world. I was excited.Oh yes! You could say I am the Queen of Naive Thinking!
