Birthday
I (C1) really fancied that perfect day last weekend – full of good surprises, written, spoken and sung messages, chocolate , the best pizza ever, time out in nature and at our cozy home together with my most favorite beings and a good board game. Already signed up for a sequel in 2021.
I Feel Loved
We had something very special to celebrate yesterday and spent a fabulous day in Sidney by the Sea – even with yummy vegan scones. But before that, I was gifted with a unique and beautiful picture: „Pusby and the Crows“. Thanks so much, C1, for this amazing surprise (and of course our friend Jean-Ann for…
Spellbound
When everybody seems to be enthusiastic about a place we both tend to be rather skeptical – at least it helps to avoid being disappointed in the end. What would Tofino actually be like? Would the famous seaside town on Vancouver Island be a good spot for our first and desperately needed holiday after 1,5…
Down By The Water
On an island the ocean of course is never far away. That’s even more true, if you are living near the coast – as we have been doing for a year now. Yes, this week we had our first „Sooke Anniversary“: one year ago we moved into our house on the West Coast. During the…
My Secret Garden
Do you fancy a zucchini, or more? How about 100? Several of our neighbours and friends have heard that question recently. That’s not surprising, since we started a zucchini production on a grand scale. We didn’t plan that way, but it turned out that way. Worse things can happen. In spring, when C2 planted the…
Whales Tales
What a mind-blowing experience: We saw our first whales! No planning was needed: We just walked on a beach, and suddenly they appeared. So we observed two humpback whales from shore for more than an hour, a mother and her calf. This day had some more spectacular sightings to offer: Botanical Beach with its unique…
Second Sight
Another happy Canada Day – our second ✌️ – even if it was totally different from last year, due to Covid-19. Thank you Canada for welcoming us so warmly … Pusby likes the hat, too.
Above The Clouds
Stunning views on today’s hike at Gowlland Tod Park. We have to share them with you:
Dream On
365 days, or 525.600 minutes (… and you can do the math for the seconds): That’s how long we have been living in Canada now. Exactly one year ago we arrived at the Vancouver International Airport, with three backpacks, one carry-on suitcase and our documents to become Permanent Residents. We knew we wanted to live…
Enjoy The Silence
You haven’t heard from us in a while. First of all: luckily we are safe & sound, not bored, not tired of each other, still working, still able to spend some time in nature nearby (without running into bears, cougars, or other humans) and kind of enjoying the silence – we adapted to the new…
