Roberts Creek

http://www.vancouverisland.com/Regions/towns/?townID=13

Have a look at the website to see this place.
We have made a move from Vancouver Island back to the Sushine Coast. That involved taking a ferry from the big island to Vancouver. We stopped there so I could do a few days of workshops and make a bit of money. Then on to another ferry in a different direction and up the Sunshine Coast.

Roberts Creek is about 20 minutes from where the ferry lands. You might remember the town of Gibsons from the tv show the Beachcombers. The whole area is about beaches and trees and is really lovely.

We used to come up here for holidays and it is wonderful to return for a month. Sadly, the prices have doubled in the time we have been visiting. This is partly due to the proximity to Vancouver. All down the highway you see chairs by the side of the road and wonder what they are for. This is where the commuters sit waiting for their rides by bus or car to whip them down to the ferry so that they can go into to Vancouver to work. It is a really long commute, but certainly beautiful.

So here we are in a lovely home in the woods with two very noble Siamese cats.
More later.
