British Shops in Canada

I really need to expand my horizons and find more British Shops in Ontario!

I love Blighty's in Orangeville but it is one heck of a drive to get there (and way too expensive to ship the stuff I love). I've also found a little hideaway in a small town called Shakespeare (not far from Kitchener) that is a great British shop but it does tend to be more pricey because it is so tiny and away in a small town!

I've recently found, though, that lots of British sweeties can be found at the Bulk Barn as well as some other great staples (mushy peas, picalilly, Branston pickle etc). I love going there, as well, when they have their "spend $10 get $3 off" coupons because it is wonderful value for money!

I miss England!

I'm a Canadian gal, but I'm married to an Englishman. From the time I was a young girl, I knew I wanted to travel to England. In university, I became friends with a number of English exchange students and also studied British Literature, which fuelled my interest.

When I married my husband I knew I'd eventually make it to England and, now that I have, I wish I could spend all of my time there!

I've been to England twice in the past few years and have loved the people, the ammenities and the culture.
