Our oldest son is really into mountain biking having built his bike from scratch there is no way he is going to wait 12 weeks for it to get to us in the container! So we bought him a bike box so he can take it on the plane with us, well it arrived the other day and it is so big it will fit all 3 boys in!!! Now we have to find taxi big enough to get us to the airport and hire a car big enough for all five of us and all the lugage!
The other 2 boys are just looking forward to getting out there!

To ship or not to ship?
At the moment we are getting loads of quotes in for the shipping of our belongings to Canada! It is so difficult to choose the right one, do you choose the cheapest one or the one whose rep gave the best spiel!!!
We have piles of boxes everywhere boxes with things to get rid of things to car boot and things that are coming with us! We have gone round and put stickers on everything that is coming with us; the kids have gone round and moved all the stickers so now we have stickers on the radiators and the fridge and washing machine!!!!!
It is so difficult to decide what is coming with us and what is not!
Our furniture and belongings will not get to us for 12 weeks at least so we will be living a very minimal life until they get to us!!!!
Keep a look out, you might see our sofa on a beach in Branscombe!!!!

New home for the dog!!
With our move to Canada we decided not to take our dog with us! This was a very difficult decision to make but we felt it was the right decision for him, we have found him a lovely home he is going to live on a farm with a few hundred cows to entertain him! He will be going tonight then on Friday his new owners will be taking him to Wales to a cottage for his holidays!
What better life can a dog ask for!!!

Our move to the Okanagan Valley!!!
We applied back in June 2005 for our permanent residency visas, we got our AOR in Aug 2005 and then the wait begins!!!!
We waited and waited and waited!!
Then in June 2007 we were asked to supply the Canadian High Commission with updated information! The up dates were submitted in Sept 2007 and then we wait again!!! Then on the 18th of Feb 2008 we get this very special brown envelope asking us to go for medicals and pay our residency fees and 30 days after the medical we have to send off our passports for the visas!!!!
Then on the 17th of April we get the visas in the post the flights are now booked for the 28th June!!!
We are going to Kelowna in the Okanagan valley in BC for our new life!
