Today was a two ferry day. I got up early and took the 7:50 ferry from Cortes Island to Quadra Island. There I had a short visit with Leslie (I met her yesterday and went swimming with her) to see her spa (www.steppingstoneretreat.ca)and Then after tea and a short tour I headed across to Campbell River. I was sorry to leave Cortes and the hospitality that not only Debbie but the whole island seemed to show me, from the weather to the people I met…oh and not to mention the home grown food, especially the clams and oysters. My trip will be hard if every leave taking is so sad. One benefit of having such friendly people on the island was that I had people to chat with on the ferry crossing to Quadra.
Once back in Campbell river I did a few errands and hit the road. I got to Mary’s place just outside of Victoria just in time for dinner with Mary and Barbara. I am enjoying the beauty of the gardens in BC and Mary’s is no exception. The colour, layout and numbers of flowers are eye catching. I am getting so many ideas for my garden back home…assuming our climate will allow me the freedom to do such things. Tomorrow Barbara and I will head for the ferry and the Freefall workshop.
Tonight is the first night I will sleep in Vincent. I still haven’t built the platform that Deb recommended but it is a good idea. If I can find some free lumber along the way or if I am stopped long enough to do the work, I would like to give it a try but right now…I am fine. I have quite a cosy little nest in here and am looking forward to shutting my eyes.
No pictures today. I took lots but don’t have time to down load them. I will be writing for the next week…retreating… and then back on the road.
I hope you did something you loved today. Talk soon.
