selenayFour years ago today, I snagged my father's luggage allowance (due to my huge luggage pile, OMG) and the two of us valiantly carried four huge suitcases, a heavy case carrying my archery gear plus a ton of hand-luggage through Gatwick, onto a plane and thence to Canada.
We arrived to Mum laughing at my luggage mountain and a big house that contained two beds, a sofa and a wobbly card table.
The house now contains a full selection of furniture, my entire book collection and probably far more stuff than would fit into four bags, one archery case and Ihalf a shipping crate so I think that I'll stay here.
It's been a mad, roller-coaster sort of four years but I can honestly say that I'd do it all again. Yes, even the snow that I had during my first winter.
Happy Fourth Emigraversary to meeeeee!
Mum and I are off for supper at a local high-end Italian joint. They have scallop carbonara. My emigraversary bacon and scallop treat tradition will be maintained :-D
