Enough Maple syrup to feed a family of 4 for a month of Sundays,

Also, I have a perfectly good car seat to suit a child from 3-5 years old, if anyone wants it and is in the Montreal area, give me a PM and its yours.

Open an Ebay account?
What kind/size are the boots? I'd be willing to talk deal if they'd fit and are compatable with snow shoes.

Q]Enough Maple syrup to feed a family of 4 for a month of Sundays<hr></blockquote>
Mark my words - there will be long faces the day the family gets down to the last drop of maple syrup and there isn't a maple tree in sight! I hope your time here has been pleasant - wishing you safe travels back to Australia!

The snowboarding gear you will be able to use for the one week Australian ski season.
The snow shovels you may be able to swap for a rain gauge.
The halloween stuff, you and the missus might be able to play a new game in the bedroom.
Buy an ice shaver and make deserts with the moulds. Pour pure cordial over the with a scoop of ice cream, great.

Snowboard – hang up in the childrens rooms and use them as bookshelves.
Halloween stuff comes in handy. Dressups are always fun :)
