Hopefully the stressful suspense last week has not killed off too many of our readers…

We are writing this from the past – on Thursday night. We’ve just packed the car for a trip to EC Manning Provincial Park tomorrow. We want to try out our new snowshoes – which we purchased last weekend.

Who told Mother Nature about our capitalist overlords and why is she punishing us using their arbitrary pattern of free and indentured time!?

Well we made it back from our trip up Dog Mountain (referred to in a hiking book we’ve recently bought as “one of the least technically difficult summits in BC, if not the world).

It’s a bit of a boring one this week – the major activity for last weekend was filing our taxes.

Are you bored of waterfalls? Oh dear, well we thought this one was a good one, so we’ll show you anyway! On Saturday morning, the skies were clear (shockingly). Without a proper plan, we attempted to go for a walk to a popular viewpoint, but the car park was full. Second choice was Kennedy Falls.

On Saturday we finally had some snow in Vancouver! Not quite as much as the UK, but it still made for a fun morning watching trucks skid around the corner outside our apartment block.

Last week in our rainy spare time we decided to try creating some art for our walls. We thought about potato stamps or colouring in with crayons, but eventually settled on one level up – chalk pastels.

We shall start this week by attempting to meet some requests from one of our most loyal Rollie followers.

This week Rosie is back in control of the blog! No more silly lists and mystic nonsense. Just some good old fashioned updates, nature pictures and an exciting new addition to the Rollie family.
