Can we have a bear, a moose and a beaver?

My Huffle has been trying to get a transfer to Canada with his current job. Unfortunately he has now been made redundant in the UK so it is now more important than ever that we get this relocation.

Lots of things have happened with interviews, meetings, etc but now Huffle and I are going to Canada for four days to 'check things out'.

This is a scary thing we are endeavouring to do, but to be honest we think it is the best possible thing to do for our two small boys.  When we asked Small (our seven year old) what he thought about moving he asked "Will we be able to have pets like a bear, a moose or a beaver?".

I checked with him later that he wasn't worried and he said "don't worry Mummy, there is a big lake where we can fish and our house is near a big city so you can go shopping whenever you like". In reality we have no house and we have no idea yet where we would live. But bless him for thinking in such a simplistic way.  Smallest (who is only 4 years old) was only worried about whether he would be able to take his scooter with him.

Staring out of the window today I thought of all the things we would miss.  Family, friends, Neighbours (the TV programme not our actual neighbours)  and our beautiful garden.  I am forever walking around with my camera at the moment, trying to capture everything.  Here are some I took today:-

I love Daisies and these are huge and spectacular

The Reddest Poppy we have ever grown

Beautiful Everlasting Sweet Pea

Clematis Seed Head

Our front garden with a quintessential English Village Church in the background - the bells ring every Friday - Small says he won't miss that!!

Nasturtium

More Daisies (don't know their name) but I was very pleased that Mr. Bee posed for me.

Hydrangea

........ and a tree full of Pears.  Now this is special because Huffle bought me this tree for our 1st Wedding Anniversary.

Hopefully I can use this blog as a diary, maybe as a sounding board for when things get a bit stressful and perhaps a way of recording things I don't want to forget.

Whatever happens, whether we stay in the UK or move out to Canada, things are gonna change round here ;0)
