Home time was a little hectic this time (and great fun) as previously posted, i was awoken by the phone....................
Mick & Cath http://cathincanada.blogspot.com/ who have just started with H&R, Mick is doing his driver training over at SK Training, were checking to see if i was in town.
Half an hour later i got another phone call, this time from Mick & Barbara who are over here for an interview.
Well that was it, its party time so i phoned Jan to let her know what i was going to do (and get permission) and we invited everyone over for a Canadian Winter BBQ.
Good food (though i say so myself), good drink (hic) and good conversation were the order of the night and i hope everyone enjoyed themselves. Luckily we live in a 5 bedroomed bungalow so there was room enough for everyone to crash and we didnt need designated drivers.
Two nights later we recieved an invite from our neihbours to go to a Christmas party at the local Mormon Temple. That was another fantastic night, most of our close neihbours were there so it was a great opportunity to meet everyone, the entertainment was put on by members of the community, who were very surprisingly talented. One guy there, a retired RJH School Principal was excellent, a bit like a Canadian Mike Harding.
Then the food was served, excellent roast beef then Cindy (our next door neihbour) insisted on introducing every one to us, everyone wanted to speak to us and i must have told our immigration story a dozen times, it was so nice that these people made us (English & non mormons) so welcome in their community.
I am so glad we chose to make our home in Raymond....................
