Harbour Extension
The GLHA have been busy over the last month, extending the commercial aspect of the harbour with a large, new concrete loading float and ramp. This will certainly make summer visits to Gramma's Pub more interesting as we watch more traffic come into Gibsons Landing.

Water of Life
So many good bars and pubs in downtown Victoria!
We had a four day break there in May and made sure that we visited every one of them, the photo is from "Irish Times" who's owners also run the "Bard and Banker" and "The Penny Farthing" which hark back to those excellent pubs of yesteryear.

Jack Sparrow
We have this thing now, nothing is insignificant and everything has a sort of wonder to it. As we sat in a lovely little coffee shop in Sidney, on Vancouver Island, a few cyclists came in and immediately, they had to be wary as "just" an opportunistic sparrow came down and inspected their rides.

Gibsons Elementary - Breaking Ground
We attended the new Gibsons Elementary Ground Breaking Ceremony yesterday
It was a fantastic sunny day for the ceremony. The students who were there were very excited and all wearing their bright yellow hard hats. In attendance were a bunch of local politicians and school board trustees and more important for the pair of us, the kids and Squamish Band Members who sang and blessed the location.
It was actually a very moving experience.

...and there's more
That was about half of it, this is the other half, jeepers, We have to cut this into smaller bits yet...
It never hurts to ask...
Wow, what a great couple of outdoor days we have had.
We went over to the boss of the job site over the road, they had been using a mobile sawmill to cut the downed trees into planks and various forms. There was a lot of good waste wood left over, so we asked him if we could take it.
We moved probably two or more tons of wood, probably three winters worth of cozy fires (we need to brew more wine) and of course, two great days out in the fresh air, breathing pollen and wood dust.
Here's the result of our labours:
