Liz Dance. Well you are right on all counts. Probably not polite or proper to go off topic slightly BUT living here is as you sugested. Not being derogortary about the weather or locals what I truly miss is the, NE UK, my siberlings and of course it's people. Apart from that in away this NE part of Canada is very similar. The people though few, are friendly,the weather a state of mind,the standard of living in this rural community is a little rustic, I won't embelish further. HAPPY HEALTHY NEW YEAR.
