That is so beautiful - and you see this every day? I would be in heaven.

It's a wonder I get any work done - I can see this view from my office... I sit and watch the lobster fishing boats go in and out, watch the weather coming in, usually from this direction, watch the wind whip up the white caps, watch the lights come on on the wharf at Port Medway and in our village to the right of the photo...

Elke...you lucky lucky lady.......what a fantastic view....

Just heaven Elke..........how warm does it get in the summer?

Not as warm as Montreal, which has a horrid hot, humid summer. Here it doesn't really warm up until August (mid 20s C), and there can be a lot of cold fog in June and July as the sea warms up. September is a lovely month. But there's far more sunshine than you get in the UK, and it's drier (at least than the west and northwest of the UK).

Well, that's the first time I've heard Vancouver described as 'dry'! She must have been lucky - more often than not it's pouring rain, especially in the fall and winter. For me, +22 C is ideal for gardening, biking, hiking, anything outdoors. Humidity and heat just make me tired. I guess it's what you're used to that suits you!

A lovely view this way as well. You can keep tabs on all the ongoings and turn aruond into your private space. Thats just a dream.
