The Show Goes On

Its funny how things fan out,What should of been a nice run back to PEI ended up being a mad dash, as we were informed that they wanted me to tip a trailer in Nova Scotia on the tuesday morning then drop the trailer in Charlottetown,the only thing that made this better was we would be finished earlier for the week or so we thought.The chores that follow are beginning to do my head in, you do take for granted when someone else does all your washing and ironing etc,i thought they would be ok but now i might just buy new clothes every week, i dont seem to have time or the inclination to do it, maybe its about time to get Lady Pen over here permanently.So my day of rest was to and throwing to the laundrette, then i get a phone call, is there any chance of running a trailer to Summerside in the morning, some days off these are turning out to be.Up early we set off for Summerside for a 6.30am booking,the downfall with this job you have to help unload and there can be some handball at least im getting paid per hour which works out preety good.Done and dusted we headed back quick drop of the trailer and were off home.I wanted to show off some of the island to David, so a plan was made and off to the beach we went,he hasn't driven over here so i let him take the wheel(Off the car) after driving in a few ditches and a few scary moments he soon got the gist off things and pretty confidently got on with it.Now i remember being 20 (yes i can remember that far back)i wasn't interested in looking at scenery, this drive really bought all that back because we saw most of the coast as if we were in a rally,under duress i did make him stop a couple of times and get out but i must admit it was pretty cold with the wind blowing.On the island we have a fictional caracter called Anne of Greengables the author Lucy Maud Montgomery who wrote these books lived here in a place called Cavendish,(these books apparently were given to Japenese kids years ago to help them learn English)which is why to this day there are loads of Japenese tourist who come to visit the Geengables Heritage site.We couldn't have a look around, the place doesn't open till May but you can see the farm from the car park.

The Island is really changing now the grass is turning green and the tractors have started in the fields getting ready for sowing,it certainly makes a nice change to all the snow and everything looking dead,as it was my first winter although it was very mild by any standards it seem to off gone on forever,now im really looking froward to see how beautiful this place really gets (thats all people keep saying so bring on summer).When Lady Pen came we visited certain areas and looked at places where we thought we might like to settle, i showed our David the same places, although its hard for anyone to make a descison whether they could leave everything behind in England and move over here without discussing it with other people in his life (girlfriend), i sensed that he pretty much liked what he saw, only time will tell.There is so much to consider when you make decisions like the one were making, we can't live our lives through our children now, we have to let them make their own minds whether they want to come over here,we certainly hope they do take up this opportunity.
