A Busy Day at the Pier



Signs of spring are definitely here. The crocussi have peeked their heads above ground, tree buds are popping out all over and people are flocking back to the beach. This is a typical day on White Rock Pier.

If you look at that road above the pier and go up a cardiac special hill, you might see our house perched on the edge of the hill. What a lovely place and what lovely weather. We have a few more weeks in this housesit and then on to our 14th or 15th place, I can no longer remember.

The Burning Buns Walk

We are trying to walk down to the beach most days and back up again. But if you check out the video, you will see what we are up again.

On the other hand, we have a remarkable view from this house.

White Rock, BC


We have moved from Gibsons to the gorgeous suburb of Vancouver called White Rock. We had no interest in living in Vancouver, cause we lived here for years, but when the opportunity came up for us to spend five weeks near the beach we grabbed it.

What a lovely place. It takes over an hour to get into Vancouver, but since that is not of a concern to us we will just hang out here. The Semiamhoo Bay where the beach is located is wonderful and has a huge boardwalk. In the distance you can see the US, nearly a short rowboat away.

We have lucked into a house on the hill with a large deck and a great view. I am sure this place rents for $2200 a month, so it is rather a nice place for us to hang our hats.

We have one adorable shnauzer and two amazing bengali cats (those are the ones that look like little tigers, or maybe more ocelots).

Paul and I have been so lucky to do this for already 14 months. We have met great people and really explored the hearts of so many communities.
