March 2009 arrived and we took some good advice and drove down to Sandown Racecourse to the Emigrate Show and ensured we made contact with Margot Begin-Gillis who was there representing Colchester Regional Development Agency, CORDA.
Whilst down the 'smoke' we also popped down to Pudding Lane in London because Gabi was doing a project at school all about the Great Fire of London. It was the girls first visit to London and we did the quickest whistle stop tour of central London you have ever seen !!
The girls also wanted to see Windsor Castle and so we had a pleasant drive through Windsor Great Park and had a nice lunch in Windsor.
Margot had indicated to us that our next step should be a visit to Nova Scotia to make some contacts and see what it was like for ourselves.
Despite having travelled around the world in the Royal Navy I had never been to Canada and the prospect of just visiting was exciting enough, never mind the prospect of living there !
