Well
I'm no Bridget Jones but I'll give it my best shot to entertain
you all with my diary of life away from Lincolnshire which I still
refer to as home...
My name is Nicola, although I am affectionately referred to by friends
as Limey which is a term used for British people both here
in Canada and, I believe, in the U.S.A.
I currently live in British Columbia, 1 of 10 provinces of Canada,
on a small island called Vancouver Island - it is about the size
of England though far less populated. There are approximately 600,000
people.
I
live in the capital city, Victoria, named of course after a very
famous Queen! Although I've lived here for almost 10 years
there is some great unseen force that keeps my heart in Lincolnshire
and every so often pulls me in that direction.
My favourite place to shop used to be Marks & Sparks here in the
city, until they pulled out of Canada a couple of years ago, (personally
I think that should've been made a national British day of mourning)
and I'm sure I'm not the only one.
You see Victoria has a massive British community, one of
the largest in Canada so it is no coincidence that I'm here.
