"Wow, how many are there?" Asked the lady on the roadside. She was, of course referring to the bevvy of beavers that have taken up residence by our driveway. Busy as... well... beavers, they have been wreaking havoc in the most adorable sense of the word. Trees that have stood for many a year are painstakingly nawed to the ground. The stump hone into a perfect point, the trunk stripped of its branches and said branches, combined skillfully with mud are crafted expertly into a dam, blocking off our storm water drain. Creating their own private pool. The Beavers have become much loved members of the community, bus drivers stop to gawk, passersby pause to ogle, the children I nanny enquire after their wellbeing. I love watching them and can be entertained for ages watching them ... read more

Wow! We have just checked into the most amazing hotel - the Adara in Whistler, all very hip and designer! We have a faux mink throw on the bed, a rainshower head in the bathroom, wallmounted fireplace and a funky red chaise longue thingy! (“Louisa would definitely approve of this place!” - Al). Only problem is I want to listen to the soothing sounds dream machine (hmm… ‘ebb tide’ or ‘rainforest’?) while Al wants to plug his iPod into the Bose sound system. And if he didn’t have an iPod he could just go get a complimentary one from reception and use that!! In fact, we might just do that for the hell of it! Sorry, I’m rushing ahead… In summary, we’re on day 3 of our four week weddingmoon. The trip breaks down roughly as: ... read more

Hey Dudes, just another quick update. Things are still going well here in sunny Whistler. Well actually less of the sunny. Unfortunatly we've just indured a week and a half of rain and clouds but finally on the 15th of July, out comes the sun. It was a momentus occasion!!!!! So, last weekend ( I think I already mentioned) Tom and I went camping. I am now finally getting round to blogging the pics. We went to Nairan Falls, a little North of Whistler and just sount of Pemberton. An interesting camp site as each site was floored with gravel. A little uncomfortable for sleeping, but we did have a tent where you could remove the outer layer and sleep under the stars without being attacked by mozzies!!! There was also a fire pit, so real ... read more
