Squeezing the last drops out of summer...




August was good to us, with its warm and sunny lazy late summer atmosphere. It was filled up with visits and parties, camping trips and exploring, hikes and fairs. In the midst of all that fun, we also managed to get a fair bit of work done, and some of Dave's art is now part of the gallery at the stunning Sooke Harbour House. We had the immense pleasure of staying there for a night in May 2008, and are so happy that a few birdhouses have found their way on to the walls there.
Somewhere along the way we realized that hey - we've been here a full year! I guess we aren't the new Victorians anymore. Rather than change the title (the not-so-new vics?) I've decided that it's time to retire this blog. I'm going to take a little break from blogging (well, I'm still going to try to keep going with the PMBC, even if it's not quite on schedule, but somehow that doesn't really fall into the blog category in my mind). This blog gave me some sense of being connected to everyone in Montreal through this first year of living on the other side of the country, but increasingly I've been favouring the old school methods of staying in touch. I suspect I will soon come up with some other reason to blog. In the meantime, thank you all for reading.
