On Saturday, Thom and Hannah took us out for our first time on Stand Up Paddleboards and we both loved it. Unfortunately Milky couldn’t come. Most of the remainder of the week has been filled with a lot of hiking, so prepare yourself for lots of blue skies, blue lakes and big mountains.

We now have our very own car and we have named her Elsie! Firstly, a big thanks must go to Thomas Lane Thomas Lane and Hannah Kacary Hannah Kacary, who actually paid for Elsie…

Rosie decided it was time for a change and took matters into her own hands!

This week, we thought we would test out your Rollie knowledge with a short quiz.

After numerous requests for another video we felt compelled to make one. We hope you enjoy Rosie staying calm throughout.

Last Sunday we made the long and arduous car ride (all of 10 minutes) to our new Workaway. We are now on an organic farm where they make all of their income from the vegetables they grow.

The title of our blog hasn’t really reflected the reality of our trip so far. COVID has meant that we’ve stayed put longer than we intended. After two months on this farm, we will be moving on Sunday.

It’s been an exciting week for us because we have started to harvest some of the crops we planted in April, mostly leafy greens, and thought we would take the opportunity to show you what we have got so far.

Rosie has tried her hand at making a wildlife documentary this week. We hope you find it both educational and enjoyable.

After the viral success of our video last week (well, some people said they liked it), we thought we would do another one. This vlog is based on our potential need to learn foraging to keep well fed on Gabriola Island.
