This week, we are in Nelson, BC. And if that wasn't exciting enough, we are bringing you this podcast episode from the slopes of Whitewater Ski Resort!

After a year of immense loss (Liz's parents passing within six months of each other and saying goodbye to our beloved family dog), the Deacle family re-grouped and set off for a month in British Columbia, Canada, in search of some much-needed family time, happiness, love, conversation, and togetherness.

To make this possible, they are house-swapping.

They have traded their Skoda and lovely one-level countryside home in Taranaki, New Zealand, with a family in Nelson, BC, and they now have THEIR car and THEIR beautiful Canadian wooden home in the mountains for a month.

Did Canada deliver what Liz and Brian were looking for? Did Bri ever get to finish what he was saying?

Why did Liz go up on the chairlift on her own and cry?

And WHY aren't husbands born with psychic powers??

PS: Listen to the end to find out! LOVE YOU GUYS!! HAPPY 2025!! xx
