WHISTLER On leaving Vancouver we stopped at Brandywine Falls to have a picnic lunch. This scenic waterfall with a drop of 227 feet is situated near to the town of Squamish and was perfectly situated for a break where a short walk took us to an overlook of the falls. The trail started from the parking lot, crossed a wooden bridge over the river and crossed the railway track to a small platform ... Read Full Entry

We love to travel and experience different places and particularly like to view and photograph the world's wonderful array of wildlife - and we are so so lucky to still be able to do so although a little slower these days. After retiring in 2010, we have travelled the world covering every continent as older generation nomads - hence our name Silvernomads. We have been really blessed to live out our retirement as we had always dreamed when we worked all those long years. The world is such a kaleidoscope of colours and cultures that have blown our senses away and this blog is a great means... full info

Great photo
Great photo. It is not easy to take photos of waterfalls. I have many times over tried to catch the magic of water cascades and failed. You succeeded though.

Marmots...
Hi Paul and Sheila, Loved reading all about Whistler. We have been to Whistler- but only to ski! So it looks and sounds very different to when it is covered in snow and is so cold! We heard all about the marmots but never saw them (I'm sure that they hibernate?) and one of James' friends even gave me a plush marmot...but a marmot is no competition for my favourite of all animals, the suricate! I think that we will have to visit Canada in the Summer sometime. Simon is desperate to go to Canada for Christmas again but I think we will go a little closer to home to ski and keep it for another time. Simon has settled in smoothly to Middle School like Maisy and has become as cool as a cucumber! Jonathan is enjoying Gr4 and his South African male teacher! (Luckily he has been in the UK for the last 14yrs) His Africaans accent still lingers though... Hope you are both well and hope to see you when you are in Dubai again, love Rae

Christmas Already
Hi Rae - Thanks for your comments on the blog and yes Canada is really great. Glad to hear that Simon and Jonathan have settled into their new term I expect they have grown a little since I saw them last. Cannot believe that Christmas is around the corner it only seems like yesterday that we celebrated it in grand South African style at your lovely warm home. Will definitely catch up with you when we are in our 'second home' in Dubai with Sharon, Geoff and Maisie. Lots of Love P&SX
