Earlier in October, Justine and I took a trip out to Reifel for a walk around, get some fresh air and see what birds were about. It was so long ago that I don’t really remember much about the day, so this post is photo heavy, without a lot of commentary.
Read MoreSeptember Trip to Reifel
I have a lot of posts ot catch up on, so this quick post on a September trip to Reifel will be almost all photos. We had decided to book a trip to Reifel for the day after the Fondo as a way to force us to get up and go for a walk, rather than just lying on the couch all day. It was a bit overcast, and there was not a lot going on, but it was still worth the visit.

An event almost 3 years in the making - we finally managed to complete the Gran Fondo from Vancouver to Whistler! This past Saturday, Justine, Nicole and I were up at the crack of dawn, gathered in Stanley Park and joined over 6,000 other crazy people in riding the 122 km up to Whistler. It was a tougher day than expected (more on that later), but we completed it, and enjoyed the day.

Our friends Katie and John came to visit us on Galiano over the weekend. On the Saturday, we decide to make our second trip on David’s boat, and thought we’d try a bit of a longer journey. We decide to try crossing the channel to go to Salt Spring Island and check out the famous Saturday Market.

One of the days of the Celebration of Lights fireworks (the Canada entry, if memory serves me correctly), the Snowbirds did a flyover of Vancouver. We were fortunate enough to have a pretty good view from the roof.

With COVID, we’ve been missing out on a lot of things that we like to do. Most notably has been travel of course, but it’s also been almost three years since we’ve been skiing! It’s hard to imagine, and this weekend Justine and I got back out on the slopes, taking a triop up to Whistler for the day. It was a strange day, with a mixture of conditions, but it was great to get back out!
Read MoreWinter Weather on Galiano
I got back from Ontario on New Year’s Eve, and we had booked a ferry to head to Galiano on New Year’s Day. We were just going for a couple of days to check on things, as there had been a fair bit of snow and since it’s so rare, we wanted to see how things were looking in the snow.
