Happy New Year to everyone following this blog. I hope you managed to get some time off and a bit of a break. We ended up far busier than we expected being invited out for meals and parties. People are so friendly here. Karenza's sister Cheryl came to visit from the UK which was great as she got to experience a white Christmas in all its glory. Apart from a few days at -25 below when it was difficult to get out, we managed to go skating and sledding a few times which was tremendous fun. Now it's all returning back to normal. The kids restart school again today. I'm back at work in ultrasound this week and yes, it's still snowing.
Favourite things about Canada so far?
1. The snow - I love it. You can play in it and sled and ski on it.
2. The people - They're so friendly and welcoming particularly to foreigners
3. Prince George - It's a small city in size but seems to have everything found in a large city yet within a shorter distance. There's no traffic and the cost of living is much cheaper than in the UK or Vancouver.
4. The stunning landscape of BC. - mountains, lakes and rivers all on our doorstep.
Least favourite things?
1. The snow - particularly when you have to shovel a foot of it off the drive in the morning to get the car out.
2. The freezing cold temperatures - When it's -25 degrees outside, outdoor pursuits are off the menu no matter how many layers you put on.
3. The travelling distances to other cities - we're 4 hours drive from the next major city and 10 hours drive from Vancouver. Thankfully there is a local airport.
We're still enjoying it out here though and hoping to visit the UK in the summer. Happy New year again. I hope 2009 is a good one for you.
