We came from Scotland (where we had been dwelling for 5 years) in 1967 and when our ship docked in Montreal I remember (as an 11 year old grinning British schoolgirl) thinking that Canada has some of the strangest houses - it was Expo 67 and we were nearby the incredibly odd but marvellous pavilions. <br /><br />Your words ring true. And yes, how blessed we are to have been adopted, too, and are now family! And if I was brave enough I, too, would get a 'made in England' tattoo! However, I think I will just settle for a teeshirt.
