Walking at Campbell River estuary

On her walk at Oyster Bay Nature Park Linda found PINK mushrooms…and more.


Dec 11

Oyster River fishing… 1 lost fly, 2 self-hookings, & 3 almost fell into river…then my pants fell down INSIDE MY WADERS!





















Linda walks Oyster River Nature walk while I fish and finds… mushrooms!















Simpson’s Folly… sunken ship breakwater. Our neighbour was fishing (with a magnet and got lots of Iron fillings)… I thought it an odd way to fish for Steelhead

Chores prepping for our move















Ice Cream!


Dec 13

Move from Oyster River to Comox straightforward, but dropping trailer off was cold in rain with wind gusts over 70kph!


Dec 14

Errands to buy new pants for Rog (4 inches off of waistline since start of trip)… WooHoo!















We prefer Farmers Markets over Craft Fairs for certain reasons… Pretzels, Cinnamon Buns and Ravens Moon Cider! 

(Google “ravens moon meaning”)

Out to trailer to retrieve essential items.

Bought Suspenders! Don’t ask why…

Linda cooks yummy Fettuccine Bolognese dinner because Rogs pacemaker can’t be near an induction cooker. Bonus for pacemaker!

    No wonder your pants fell down - looking slim and trim! Those mushrooms are amazing in colour, and diversity. Love the swirls in that wood. Blessings of the season. We know you will have a happy time, judging from what we have seen so far. :-)

    Grant of the North here. Great pics & descriptive comments. Roger - you'll love suspenders. Dad wore them his whole life! Life looks great for you both!
