I was born in Oldham, England and moved to Mississauga Ontario with my family when I was 3years old. I lived there for 17 years; I have been living in Nanaimo B.C. for the last 11 years with my three kids Shane, Matthew and Sarah. The best part of Nanaimo B.C. for me is the beautiful scenery, everywhere I look there are mountains, lakes, sail boats and parks, tons of wildflowers of every color and all kinds of different wildlife; nothing else can beat the serenity that beautiful British Columbia can offer!
