Rachel, Gabi, Charlotte and Myself
Just thought it would be a good idea to start a blog about our immigration to Nova Scotia....mainly because there might come a time in the future when we forget why it was we actually decided to leave the UK !!
Our family is myself Dean, my wife Rachel, James, Alexander, Eleanor, Charlotte and Gabrielle (Gabi for short)
James, Alexander and Eleanor (in the second photo)
are my children from a previous marriage and are not moving to Canada with us but hopefully they will visit regularly and who knows might decide to move across in the future.
James and Alexander followed in my footsteps by joining the Royal Navy and are enjoying themselves travelling the world and Eleanor has just completed her GCSEs at Lady Manners School in Bakewell.
Charlotte is 10 years old and Gabi is 7.
We live in Chesterfield, Derbyshire and my wife and I both work for the Derbyshire Constabulary....I am a Detective Chief Inspector and my wife works in our Force Control Room as a Communications Officer (answering 999 calls and using the radio).
I can retire from the police in the summer of 2011 and that is the reason many years ago we discussed what we wanted to do and where we wanted to do it.
fantastic read! ...... As we relax with a Tim H baking in the midday sun (mad dogs and all that)surrounded by lush countryside and chilled folk, I have to say we are grateful you chose Nova Scotia and guided us down the road less travelled .... At long last we feel very content with life .... for you and Rachel the best is yet to come, we cant wait for your arrival!
