British Maple Leaves Tdot Series

It almost hurts to write this post but here goes…we will be leaving Canada in July this year.    We have enjoyed the best part of five, happy years in Toronto.  Our miniature humans are Canadian and we have made some amazing friends too.

Watch this space for the first instalment next week.
