After contacting them today hubby finds out they sent them to the wrong address, so they got sent back to customs! So now they have the correct address hopefully we will get them very soon!!!!

Westside Warriors

Well the Ice Hockey season is on it's way, we have been to the last 2 games of the Westside Warriors the first game they lost 7-2 but the last game we went to they won 3-2!!!!
Canadians really do like thier Ice Hockey!!!!

Starting School!

On the 2nd of September the boys started school!
They are enjoying not having to wear a uniform for school, jeans and t shirts are the uniform in Canada!
From what they say they seem to be enjoying thier new school life and they seem to be making friends!

We are in our house!

We moved into our house on the 28th of Aug and our furniture arrived on the 2nd Sept!
The furniture we had shipped over from the UK looks lost in the house, lost and a lot smaller than it was in the UK!!!
We have rooms that we don't know what to do with yet!
We love the area we have chosen to live we have mountains all around us and you just drive down the road and the Lake is just in front of you!

Great weekend!!!

What a great weekend we have had, on Saturday we went to a mountain bike event in City Park Kelowna, the boys loved it most of the bikers the boys knew from the bike magazines they read. To do anything like this in the UK it would have been in London and cost us a fortune! The guys on the bike where amazing or should I say mad flying in the air with their bikes!!!!! After the biking there was a concert in the evening and then we had a walk down by the Lake.
On Sunday we went floating down a channel that connects Lake Okanagan and Skaha Lake, it was so relaxing and great fun laying in an inflatable with the sun shinning down on you just floating away! Than at the pick up point to get back to the car we had Elvis singing for us!!!! Must remember to take ear plugs next time!!!!
On Monday we went off roading in the truck to test it out. We came across a gorgeous Lake called Jack Pine Lake; it is amazing the scenery around here!

4 Week Update!

4 weeks in and lovin’ it! What a place, beautiful scenery, great summer weather and really friendly people. It’s amazing what you can do in a short time; made lots of new friends, both have jobs, two cars and a house now purchased, just waiting for the move-in date.
Still feels like a holiday, but weekends are passing by and we don’t have to catch a plane back to England – wow!
Every weekend so far we’ve been invited to a BBQ, great opportunity to meet new people and share experiences, learn more of the “Canadian Way” lifestyle!
Been on walks and come face to face with more deer, chipmunks, and some butterflies the size of your hand (well almost). There’s a bird around here that looks exactly like a Robin in the UK but these are on steroids, they’re as big as a Blackbird.

Settling in!

Well we have been here now for nearly 3 weeks now and we all love it!
We both started work on Monday the 14th July, and the boys love the area, the boys have been swimming in the lake. The sun is very hot coming from rainy England we are not used to it, we went for a hike the other day while the boys went on a bike ride and the sun was that hot we both got burnt even with sun cream!!! The area around us is just amazing you drive to work in the morning there are mountains all around we have drive over the Lake every morning!
We are getting used to driving on the wrong side of the road now (well the wrong side of the road for now).
We have been invited to so many BBQs over the last few weeks we have lost count!
We had only been here a few days when we were driving along a road and a deer walked out in front of us and he just carried on walking up the road!
