Happy emigraversary to me!

[selenay]

Four 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

It doesn't seem possible it's four years.

Congrats! (Lucky you, on getting to stay. I was only permitted six months overseas, and though I missed home I would have loved the opportunity to stay longer.)
