Catching up

After 4 days without the laptop, there are a few stories to tell and pictures to show. Tried using my phone to keep up to date but my eyesight was challenged and my fingers too big for the keypad.

From Vancouver we picked up a hire car and headed for Horseshoe Bay and the ferry to Nanaimo - fairly uneventful journey - but some great scenery and as we stood on deck in the sunshine, we could see the rain showers on the island. Luckily we missed most of them and managed to find our way to my cousin Andi's place just in time for happy hour and a couple of beers with Uncle Stan followed by dinner in the local pub with a great selection of local beers and then home for a glass or two of Black Bush with Andi.

On Saturday we started with a tour of the 5 acre property where they have lived for about two years. While we visited the chickens, sheep, horses and Bella the highland heifer,

we were accompanied everywhere by her 5 Australian Cattle Dogs.

I think Linda would have been very happy if she could have managed to take one of the three week old puppies home to Moyhill.
