That avatar can't possibly be you now can it??? In pigtails?

Nope not me, I've not enough hair for pigtails.

Um, your wife at 4 years old??

Another story from the Sunday Times this week about BC.

Do you really think that looks like my wife?????

I dunno? Does it?

It was my grand daughter and I thought better of using it.

So who's that now?

Sssssshhhhhhh, that's me, taken about seven years ago.

From that Sunday Times article:

"3% of buyers so far are British, attracted by the largest vertical ski run in North America and the promise, eventually, of direct flights from Europe to nearby Kelowna."

Nooooooo. Not until we've bought a house there, can't abide these bloody Brits pushing up property prices

Also from that Sunday Times article:

“It is like living in the country, but without the isolation,” says Brian. “We like the great outdoors, but we also like city life. Here, we’re only 30 minutes [by car] from Vancouver and an hour from Whistler. We can enjoy the best of both worlds.”

This is referring to Bowen Island! I would like to see his car - it must be amphibious as it is a 20minute ferry crossing to the mainland!

Nor me, we MAY still go there...

Naaaahhhh... you look 30 Steve...
