Wonderful Whales
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…
Canada Day, The 2nd
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.
Vancouver Island From Above
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…
In The Cold, Cold Night
A poor kitten, lovely music in a living room, walking for a good cause and hiking for fun – that pretty much sums up our last week. A poor kitten in a cute onesie Little Pusby is now six months old. Time to be spayed. Therefore, we took her to the vet this week. When…
Life’s What You Make It
Six weeks have passed since our last post, and many things have happened. In case you are wondering what that might be – here’s an update on (nearly) everything C1, C2, Pusby and Pai experienced. Fun with cats Our furry companions Pusby and Pai finally got to know each other, since Pai fully recovered. They…
We Are Family
Not only do we have a little „Puss in Boots“ in our house – now we share it with a little whale rider as well: Paikea! She is a black and white tuxedo cat. That’s why she was originally named Orca. The very cute Pai is another rescue kitten. Someone found her in the woods…
Peace
Happy Holidays – and a Happy New Year (even a new decade) to all of you, hopefully filled with peace, love and adventures! Or as Neil Gaiman put it: “I hope you will have a wonderful year, that you’ll dream dangerously and outrageously, that you’ll make something that didn’t exist before you made it, that…
Christmas Island
‚Tis the season to be jolly … the first one we experience in Canada. And how colourful, shining and sparkling it is! Almost everywhere we look, there are gleaming, glittering houses, gardens and trees – even one of the most beautiful Christmas trees stands right here in Sooke, at least in our opinion. On Whiffin…
