I started this to show how we had moved about but Welcome to Oakhaven is really about Elaine Jackson and I want to tell our story in Elice's words, so here goes - We came back from Zambia and, of course, SD had no job and started to panic a bit, not like him but this was his first taste of being unemployed. We were going to Canada, British Columbia, not that awful place in Ontario where the smelter fumes killed all the vegetation, and he thought of teaching until we'd sorted things out. He'd been earning £212 a month in Zambia but they only offered £600 a year to teach. Isn't it pathetic what they pay teachers and nurses when they are so important to our families! Then, just as I'd had enough of staying like a lodger with one or other of our mothers, he was offered a job in Aberdeen and we were off again,
