Sorry we haven't written in so long - we have been absolutely flat out. James and I were working very long days. We were living in this awful shack which was almost falling apart and our wages were terrible.
Even though James and I were doing the same work, I got paid $5/hour less than him. And after a while we realised the people we were working for weren't very nice. James has a diploma in Farm Management and lots of farm experience but they didn't let him drive the seeding machine, even though it was what we were told he would be doing. So James started looking for jobs in Alberta and got a lot of offers in the Calgary area (Calgary is a major city in Alberta). We told the old boss weeks before that we were planning to leave as we both weren't happy and they were very cranky when we finally told them we were leaving. They had told us that James & I could borrow the car to go pick up one he was buying in Calgary (a 1989 BMW 7 series :) !!!! ) and we would drive back and get all of our things. Then the night before we were going to go they decided that we couldn't use it and we had to catch a bus. Eventually we got him to agree to let me drive James to the airport and he flew to Calgary, bought the car and drove back and we left the next morning.
Next - we are in the most beautiful part of Canada!
