7 houses, 2 pools and a chipmunk

We went to Stouffville today, had a good walk around and had a some lovely pastries and a coffee in a little Italian Deli. John, the owner, was very friendly and told us all about how his family travelled to Canada in the 50's from the 'ankle of Italy'.

Then we had another walk and had tea and toast and jam in Buggys whilst reading the Toronto Sun and watching the news.

Off we went to visit 'Grace' our Realtor who showed us around seven properties. It took us four and a half hours. With no breaks. We instantly ruled out five for various reasons. We had a second look at two of them. But really only one stood out for both of us. It was one I nearly ruled out when we were looking online.

Loads of photos have been taken, will post these when we get back on Thursday.

Tomorrow we will look at four different houses.

We have had a good walk around Walmart. Huffle is upset because he can't find any Baked Beans. I couldn't find any Weetabix (poor Small - what will he do?).

Huffle has learnt he likes Orange Pekoe Tea! We think its just a black tea but it sounds more exotic!

We have just had a fantastic meal at a place I thought was called Pickled Squirrel but in actual fact was called The Pickle Barrell. I had Risotto Balls and Pan Seared Basa with Asian Bell Peppers and Brown Basmati Rice. Huffle had Sweet Potato Fries and Salmon. We shared a trio of cheesecakes which we had to bring home as we couldn't finish them.

anyway it is now 8pm here and we are shattered so...............

........ Pyjamas, telly, tea and a biscuit. Hey it's the high life for us. X

Don't worry:) You can get baked beans and Weetabix...my favourite....but maybe not at Walmart's as that is an American store chain...ie. USA not Canadian. They don't carry everything.

Thanks Mary Ann, I think you may have said before that we can get these things. Just my family panicking, personally I can take or leave Baked Beans!
