A new life in Montreal?

Most of you will have heard by now that we are leaving sunny Australia to start a new life in Canada/Montreal in May 2010. Craig has a fabulous new job over there and I will spend my energy on creating a new home and enjoying my pregnancy (baby is due in August). ALL CHANGE AGAIN!



I went over to Montreal in February to check out where we would want to live etc and it was absolutely freezing! As you can see, even the advertising pillars wear hoodies!!



I left sunny Brisbane at 35 degrees C and arrived in Montreal some 28 hrs later at minus 10 degrees!!! Brrrr! I almost died when I walked out the airport - I could not breathe!!! Thankfully Craig was waiting for me with a warm coat and I did not have to die!



This is the beautiful Notre Dame Cathedral in the old town of Montreal. Entirely made of wood it is really quite special.

We are both looking forward to exploring a new country and lifestyle. And of course all the French food, very exciting! I am really happy that we will be so much closer to Europe (only 6 hrs flight instead of 25) and will be able to see friends and family more often. I finish work this week and will then be packing boxes and sorting through stuff to decide what comes with us, what goes into storage, and what goes to the tip! Wish me luck...
