a quick update

very brief as i'm posting this from an internet cafe in downtown Canmore & we get cable internet installed at home tomorrow, so i'll post more detail then.

but basically

9 hour flight was brilliant, sparkling new Thomas Cook plane with an immaculately behaved baby in tow - we breezed into Calgary bang on time. immediately noticeable that it was a few degrees cooler than London, but the sky was cobalt blue & we could see the Rockies shimmering in the distance

1 hour later we were in our new home, a beautiful place with views of mounatins from front, side & back & again in spotless condition

just a few days exploring so far - Canmore, Banff & Calagary but we have merely scratched the surface, as a lot of time has been spent sorting out credit cards, ISP's , social security numbers etc etc etc

the drive yesterday morning in brilliant sunshine from Canmore to Banff was breathtaking in it's beauty & if I end up commuting from Canmore to Calgary quite a lot, i won't grumble, I'll just think back to the joys of the M25

more soon...........

pps - have found a great pub to watch the Charlton - Fulham game live tomorrow, it'll KO over here at 1pm - come on you Addicks!
