Time flies

Wow - the last post was in June 2015! How time flies when you are changing jobs, hosting lovely guests and planning to move back home.

As much as we have loved living in Canmore, Alberta, we realised that Scotland is certainly our home and in October we made the return trip back home. To put it simply - it was CRAZY!

Foolishly we thought that when we got back things would be relatively straight forward and simple - oh how silly we are! It has been wonderful spending so much time with family particularly for Christmas and New Years however house hunting, job searching and general hoopla has been somewhat testing.

We have now moved into a house in a little Stirlingshire village and while Lewis is taking on his family business, I am establishing Pilates classes in the Stirlingshire area for pregnant and postnatal women which I am very excited about!

Watch this space!!

The countdown has begun...

The countdown is most certainly on!

Four weeks today and Lewis and I are returning to the land of adventure, snow, grizzly bears and cougars! We are so excited!

We cannot help but look ahead at the prospect of all the unknown possibilities in Canada, however everything we have to do from now until then is a little bit more overwhelming.

As mentioned in our little blurb we have begun selling things. My climbing shoes, uni books, guitars, sound systems and anything else we feel may be worth a little buck or two. Turns out there isn't that much, particularly when I feel charities are so much more worthy to donate items towards.

Insurance has mind-boggled me today as we have been told we need Health Insurance for the first 3 months we are in Canada and insurance to cover any travel costs. I had a 48 hour mind-block and believed we needed to buy both Travel and Health Insurance (which was definitely not cheap)...yet  low and behold we do not. Or at least that is what I now think and I have talked myself round in circles. At this point in time it is not difficult.

World Nomads insurance seems to be the best for exactly what we want to do, and to make life easier we can add skiing on if and when we wish to adventure into the snowy wilderness!

Now, what did I do with all that packing enthusiasm I had earlier....
