Had 3 weeks with James Mark, Michelle, and the 3 wee boys. Mostly just blobbing out which was really nice after my pre-trip stressing. (for those in the know, my body has settled down, but I had to consult a Canadian GP).
Think we saw the sun twice, once, a sunday, was so nice. We went to Coles Bay and met up with some others and the kids had a ball! Rowan decided to have a mud bath after he had found a really big starfish and Grandpa had found a really pretty purple one.
Met Sarah our lavender friend from Whidbey Island and had a lovely lunch with her in Sidney. Also caught up with Alan, another lavender friend near to Sidney, and took Sarah to meet him.
Michelle and I had a day in Victoria while her car was being checked out.
Other days we took Aidan to Mr Tubbs, where you use tokens to wiin tickets and then 'cash them in' for 'prizes' (ie rubbishy toys). took Rowan to the butterfly farm. Not many about though because of the weather. Went to the boys school a couple of days too and some days Grandpa went and collected them.
Had such a treat - got taken to the Butchart Gardens by Alan and Beth. In doing my family history research I thought I had found Alan to be a relative of Ken's. As it turns out he possibly isn't but we still wanted to meet up with them. Alan had worked at the gardens for 30 years and so was able to take visitors free of charge. Being winter we didn't think there would be much to see, but it was surprising - the bare trees were rather lovely.
