Au Revoir Canada
After two weeks in Canada I think I’m going to enjoy living here (providing the immigration people eventually let us in). The weather has been warm and sunny (the locals say it is freak weather but I’m optimisitc), they’re not ashamed to play 80’s rock on the radio (every other song is Brian Adams), they grow LOTS of blueberries (Dulcie has developed a slight purple hue) and I have discovered they have a burgeoning wine industry (they have chosen to concentrate on only two types of wine; red and white).
Tomorrow we fly out to Asia and will cross the international date line so we will probably land there yesterday. We have been warned about a new danger when weeing outside in Cambodia – land mines! I think we’ll take a bucket.

Hi Robert and Dulcie
Bon Voyage…again…. Have a gret time… I spent a few days in Canada in August one year. It was lovely and warm… for a couple of days and then those icy chilly winds started to blow in from all those glaciers! Still it was a great place to stay. You can even get a direct flight from Vancouver to New Zealand should the travel bug ever bite again!
Have fun

That’s it – you are definitely off the friends list now!nrnrMakes my mid-life crisis of buying a new old landrover seem just a little boring. But I suppose some of us have to have meaningful careers. By the way good to see our old friends at C1 along with their mates are doing their bit to bring the economy crashing to its knees I won’t say I told you so, but I did about four years ago – if only I had been in charge…..Have fun – Graham
Not sure Tesco stocks Canadian wine (neither the famous red nor the impetuous white…) but you should bookmark the following and make a point of travelling through the wineries once you’re fully-fledged citizens of Canada: http://www.jancisrobinson.com/articles/20070112_1
and http://www.winesofcanada.com. I gather that Icewine is where it’s at. Still, something for you to toy with once you’re back from warmer climes. Good luck!
