The day before Daf's birthday, we were at Maggie and Ingrid's and had munchies and wine and then did a walk along the (now sadly quiet) Via Rail track behind their house. "come this way" says Ingrid.
Miki and Ingrid wander down the tracks.......
Ingrid and Daf share a moment on the walk. Sure hope the train is running again up island soon!
On Daf's birthday she had a wonderful breakfast on the deck, then a picnic lunch at the beach.
It was sunny but cool, so you can see the beach was not crowded, which suited us fine.
D walked way out into the warm water, contemplating the past year and looking forward to the next one.
Tide was coming in at this point................
The Beach Club from the water.
A couple of days later, Murielle (last winter's house sitter) had us over to her place for a wonderful joint birthday dinner. She is house sitting still in Parksville at a house with an amazing garden.......
The garden is lovely, but screams "lots of work" to us.........
Many different beds of various flowers and plants......
Daf among the roses...............
Miki helped out by monitoring the barbeque.......
And it was a wonderful feast for sure.....we were spoiled!
Miki and Muriel......thanks for a great birthday dinner!!!! Funny how we all wore the same colour pink tops...!!
