[QUOTE=AMN;165380]Thanks for the reply Carole,

Well funny that you have mentioned the two main thigs that we miss about the UK - friends and the abillity to hop over to Spain or Greece easily. Having said that we are older and have had many holidays there so we can't grumble. The vacation opportunities are different here and just if not more interesting - Hawaii, Mexico, the States to name a few. Best of all are the amazing places to visit in BC itself!

AS far as making new friends, again its the age thing and area. More difficullt when you're older and living in the Vancouver area as Canadian folk are very private and keep themselves to themselves for the most part. The friendly ones seem to hail from out of town!

Kelowna is wonderful - keep going!
