In a comedic reversal of roles, we were picked up at the airport by our Aussie friends who are holidaying in Canada at present. We should have been the ones to welcome them to Vancouver Island but they got to our house before we did and it was a good thing because they not only saved us taxi fare but warmed up the house after our 17 day absence. It’s always great to see them, even on jet lag!
The next day I headed to Vancouver for Women in Focus Leadership Team meetings, Gord trundled off to work and Sam and Sue happily toured the Island. I arrived home on Sunday just in time to meet our Capenwray friends of more than 3 decades (ahem) for lunch at our locally famous Crow and Gate Pub. The day was glorious, the food satisfying and the company especially entertaining.
Thanks, friends, for a great welcome home!
