Summer Breeze

Blowing through the Jasmine in my mind,the smell of freshly cut grass,the trees and flowers all in bloom,smiling faces, the long warm summer evening sitting outside enjoying the odd Bud,shorts and Tee shirts, Humm all this seems an eternity away now, well except the shorts and Tee shirts im not giving up on that attire just yet.Well its finally arrived "Winter" the leaves have given up now and the last remaining few have relinquished there positions and final laid to rest,everywhere looks oh so sorry now, the trees all bare look like there dying off, all the lush green grass is now turning a horrible shade of yellow/brown making this time my least favourable.Summer is for me, give me heat, heat and more heat, give me scantly clad women, only to look at of course, I suppose with all this in mind it has started a little bit of how time has passed by especially over the last 12 months,my or should I say our quest to move lock stock and 2 smoking barrels over to Canada has certainly taken a few twists and turns and yet this continues.I think its time to give a little advice to anyone wishing to take the same course as we have, the big question i suppose would be, would i do it again like this ?to be complete honest it would be a resounding NO, NO, NO.Why anyone would want to spend as much time away from there family as i have is beyond me, this has been the most stressfull time ive ever had to endure during my short time on gods earth.Please take heed, either move over all together or get PR before moving to Canada, ok this may take 3/4 years to do but believe me it is definately a better option.I say this with experience now, ive seen grown men crying including myself all saying the same i didnt realise it would be this hard, the slightest problem turn into mamouth ones you can not prepare for this believe me.Taking the 2nd option also gives you the ace card of being able to choose from every employer instead of the ones who have to recruit from overseas,yes some are ok i do believe this to be the case with the one i currently work for they are ok, but ask yourself one question why do the same companys come up time and time again needing to fill these post with foreign labour.There is a huge shortage of drivers here with PR already in place you can pick from the best of these companys,the best payers etc etc.Then i look at the whole emigrating thing,of course its different for me to someone who has moved over here with all their family etc,so my problems wouldn't be the same as those,time and time again you hear it said, no one said it would be easy, it isn't, you get nothing for nothing here be prepared to put in a great deal of hard work, there isn't a quick fix it takes time a long time.I really miss my close friends who would love dearly to have me back in their company (not sure why lol)i miss my close family,i miss my dogs but most off all i miss England, a place where my home is, the place where everything i know is.I left because of certain things that i believe to be fundamentally wrong, i do also believe that these problems will continue and get worse, can i over look this and return and then the big question is, Would i be happy? well who knows what the future holds.When i left i was looking for something at least equally as good as i had as im sure everyone else is, have i found it? only time will tell, certain things are at least as good if not better, anyone here would problably agree with that, ive got a long way to go to get where i want to be, being reunited with LadyPen permanently is the most important thing to me so we can move forward together where ever that maybe.Do i have a downer on Canada?the answer is a resounding No,not even after 12 months leaving England, do i regret doing what ive done, YES only because ive had to do it on my own, i want to share everything with the people who hopefully will benefit from the possible outcome.Then the biggest question off all is, After all the heartache and pain with the possibillty of PR in Canada achieveable has it all been worth it?only time will tell, maybe by Summer we will have a clearer picture.
